(A)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his (B)holy place?
(C)He who has (D)clean hands and (E)a pure heart,
    who does not (F)lift up his soul to (G)what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive (H)blessing from the Lord
    and (I)righteousness from (J)the God of his salvation.
Such is (K)the generation of those who seek him,
    who (L)seek the face of the God of Jacob.[a] Selah

(M)Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that (N)the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, (O)mighty in battle!
Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And lift them up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
    (P)The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory! Selah

  1. Psalm 24:6 Septuagint, Syriac, and two Hebrew manuscripts; Masoretic Text who seek your face, Jacob

Who shall ascend the Har Hashem? Or who shall stand in His Makom Kodesh?

He that hath clean hands, and a bar levav (pure heart); who hath not lifted up his nefesh unto shahv (vanity), nor sworn l’mirmah (deceitfully).

He shall receive the brocha (blessing) from Hashem, and tzedakah from Elohei Yisho (the G-d of his Salvation).

This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Ya’akov. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; and be ye lifted up, ye Pitchei Olam (everlasting doorways); and Melech HaKavod shall come in.

Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem strong and mighty, Hashem Gibbor Milchamah.

Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; even lift them up, ye Pitchei Olam; and Melech HaKavod shall come in.

10 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem Tzva’os, He is Melech HaKavod. Selah.
