The text of the psalm

לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר לַיהוָה הָאָרֶץ וּמְלוֹאָהּ תֵּבֵל וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

כִּי־הוּא עַל־יַמִּים יְסָדָהּ וְעַל־נְהָרוֹת יְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃

For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

מִי־יַעֲלֶה בְהַר־יְהוָה וּמִי־יָקוּם בִּמְקוֹם קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃

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

נְקִי כַפַּיִם וּבַר־לֵבָב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נָשָׂא לַשָּׁוְא נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא נִשְׁבַּע לְמִרְמָֽה׃

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

יִשָּׂא בְרָכָה מֵאֵת יְהוָה וּצְדָקָה מֵאֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֽוֹ׃

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

זֶה דּוֹר דֹּרְשָׁיו מְבַקְשֵׁי פָנֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה׃

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

שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וְהִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבוֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

מִי זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהוָה עִזּוּז וְגִבּוֹר יְהוָה גִּבּוֹר מִלְחָמָֽה׃

'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.'

שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃

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

מִי הוּא זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד סֶֽלָה׃

'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
