A Mizmor of David
Psalm 24
Of YAHUWAH
Exists the earth:
The ground,
The continents,
And the contents therein—
The full number of them—
Belong to Him.
The inhabited lands
And all those who dwell therein
Are also His.
For the firmly fixed Authority,
Has placed it
Upon the foaming seas;
He has erected it
Upon the flowing streams
He caused it to exist.
It remains.
What person
Can go up
Or be carried aloft
Unto the Mountain of YAHUWAH?
Indeed, who shall ascend
Unto the Qodesh,
Set-Apart Dwelling,
The undefiled place
Of His abode?
The one who is free from blame.
He whose hands
And works are pure;
In the curved hollow of the palm
He carries no guilt;
The heart,
The inner workings
Of his will and purpose,
And the mode of his actions
Exist blameless.
His nephesh—
His living, breathing,
Self,
The inner workings
Of his will and purpose—
And his strength
Are not lifted up
Unto vanity or empty idols.
This one does not raise himself
Toward calamity and ruin;
He who has never
Given allegiance
Or sworn deceitfully
Unto idols.
He shall bear up
The burden of prosperity.
YAHUWAH shall stoop
And place a gift
At this one’s feet.
Yes, he shall receive
Tsedekkah,
From ALOHIM
His YESHUA.
This circuit of an age
As it winds round and round,
As one generation tramples
Upon another,
As the path is searched out
And these seek
Thy face, O, Ya’aqob!
Selah.
[A dramatic pause in the music]
Lift up, O, gates!
Let the entrance be taken up!
Let the highest
And the supreme
Be carried away!
Lift up the entrance
Of the mouth
Which has endured
From ancient time,
From as far as one can
See or perceive,
To the edge of the horizon
And beyond!
And shall come in
Melek Ha’Kabod,
The King of Honor and Abundance,
Of Heart and Splendor!
Who is this Melek Ha’Kabod?
Who is this King,
Resplendent and Precious?
YAHUWAH, Strong and Powerful!
YAHUWAH, our Valiant Leader,
Victorious in battle!
Lift up, O, gates!
Let the entrance be taken up!
Let the highest
And the supreme
Be carried away!
Lift up the entrance
Of the mouth
Which has endured
From ancient time,
From as far as one can
See or perceive,
To the edge of the horizon
And beyond.
And shall come in
Melek Ha’Kabod,
The King of Honor and Abundance,
Of Heart and Splendor!
Who is this Melek Ha’Kabod?
Who is this King,
Resplendent and Precious?
YAHUWAH, Strong and Powerful!
YAHUWAH, our Valiant Leader,
Victorious in battle!
Selah!

The Psalm Project represents my desire for a deeper understanding of the Word of YAHUAH. It is not a mechanical translation, a one-word-for-word exchange from Hebrew to English. We have those. This is a lyrical adaptation of the many possibilities hidden in the Hebrew, arranged with consideration for the poetic and musical intent of the original writer. I pray you are as enriched in the reading as I was in the transcribing.
