3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?
Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:
He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.
10 Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
