English translation (JPS 1917)
- A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.
- For He hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.
- Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His holy place?
- He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not taken My name in vain, And hath not sworn deceitfully.
- He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
- Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, That seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah
- Lift up your heads, O ye gates, And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; That the King of glory may come in.
- 'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.'
- Lift up your heads, O ye gates, Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; That the King of glory may come in.
- 'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
