Psalms 24 Comparison: American Standard Version vs King James Version
Psalms 24
1The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
2For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.
3Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. [Selah
7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
8Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.
10Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. [Selah
