1 David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

3 Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
5 Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

8 Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.
Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.
