Who may ascend the mountain(A) of the Lord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?(B)
The one who has clean hands(C) and a pure heart,(D)
    who does not trust in an idol(E)
    or swear by a false god.[a]

They will receive blessing(F) from the Lord
    and vindication(G) from God their Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face,(H) God of Jacob.[b][c]

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Who may go up to the mountain of Adonai?
Who can stand in his holy place?
Those with clean hands and pure hearts,
who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives
or swear oaths just to deceive.
They will receive a blessing from Adonai
and justice from God, who saves them.
Such is the character of those who seek him,
of Ya‘akov, who seeks your face. (Selah)
