3 Hvo skal gaa op paa Herrens Bjerg? hvo skal staa paa hans hellige Sted?

Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

4 Den, som har uskyldige Hænder og er ren af Hjertet; den, som ikke har sat sin Hu til Løgn og ej svoret svigeligt.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

5 Han skal annamme Velsignelse fra Herren og Retfærdighed fra sin Frelses Gud.

He will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
