Context of Psalms 24:5
3Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? 4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false, Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need, Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah. 7Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.
