3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. (Selah)

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
