| לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמ֥וֹר לַֽ֭יהוָה הָאָ֣רֶץ וּמְלוֹאָ֑הּ תֵּ֝בֵ֗ל וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃ | 1 | By David. A psalm. The earth and its fullness belong to YHWH, the world and the inhabitants in it, |
| כִּי־ה֭וּא עַל־יַמִּ֣ים יְסָדָ֑הּ וְעַל־נְ֝הָר֗וֹת יְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ | 2 | because he has founded it upon the seas and keeps it established upon the currents. |
| מִֽי־יַעֲלֶ֥ה בְהַר־יְהוָ֑ה וּמִי־יָ֝קוּם בִּמְק֥וֹם קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃ | 3 | Who may go up on the mountain of YHWH? And who may stand within his holy place? |
| נְקִ֥י כַפַּ֗יִם וּֽבַר־לֵ֫בָ֥ב אֲשֶׁ֤ר׀ לֹא־נָשָׂ֣א לַשָּׁ֣וְא *נַפְשׁוֹ* וְלֹ֖א נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לְמִרְמָֽה׃ | 4 | One with clean hands and a pure heart, who has not delighted in falsehood, nor taken an oath deceitfully. |
| יִשָּׂ֣א בְ֭רָכָה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה מֵאֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעֽוֹ׃ | 5 | He will receive blessing from YHWH and privilege from the God of his salvation. |
| זֶ֭ה דּ֣וֹר דֹּרְשָׁ֑יו מְבַקְשֵׁ֨י פָנֶ֖יךָ יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃ | 6 | Such is the generation—those seeking him, those who seek your face—of Jacob. Selah. |
| שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וְֽ֭הִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עוֹלָ֑ם וְ֝יָב֗וֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃ | 7 | Lift up your heads, gates, and be lifted up, eternal doorways, so that the glorious king might enter! |
| מִ֥י זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫ב֥וֹד יְ֭הוָה עִזּ֣וּז וְגִבּ֑וֹר יְ֝הוָ֗ה גִּבּ֥וֹר מִלְחָמָֽה׃ | 8 | Who is this, the glorious king? YHWH, a mighty one and a warrior; YHWH, a battle warrior. |
| שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וּ֭שְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עוֹלָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֽוֹד׃ | 9 | Lift up your heads, gates, and lift up, eternal doorways, so that the glorious king might enter! |
| מִ֤י ה֣וּא זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫ב֥וֹד יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֑וֹת ה֤וּא מֶ֖לֶךְ הַכָּב֣וֹד סֶֽלָה׃ | 10 | Who is this, the glorious king? YHWH of armies, he is the glorious king. Selah. |
