3 Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
