Context of Psalms 24:5
3Who may climb up the hill of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place? 4Only the person who does what is right, and who has pure thoughts. He does not worship idols and he does not make false promises. The Lord will bless people who are like that. God will save them. He will say that they are not guilty of wrong things. 6People like that come to God. They want to please him. They like to pray to the God of Jacob. Selah. 7Old gates of the city, wake up! Open now, to leave a wide path! Then the great king will come in.
