1A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, || The world and the inhabitants in it.
2For He has founded it on the seas, || And He establishes it on the floods.
3Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?
4The clean of hands, and pure of heart, || Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, || Nor has sworn to deceit.
5He carries away a blessing from YHWH, || Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O Jacob! Selah.
7Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
8Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, || YHWH, the mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
10Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! Selah.
