Psalms 24 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 24
1The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.
2For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.
3Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.
5He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)
7Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
8Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.
9Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
10Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah.)
Psalms 24
1The earth is the Lord's, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
2For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3Who may ascend to the Lord's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face-even Jacob. Selah.
7Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
