^3 (D)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his ^(E)holy place?
^4 (F)He who has ^(G)clean hands and ^(H)a pure heart,
    who does not ^(I)lift up his soul to ^(J)what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
⁵ He will receive ^(K)blessing from the Lord
    and ^(L)righteousness from ^(M)the God of his salvation.
⁶ Such is ^(N)the generation of those who seek him,
    who ^(O)seek the face of the God of Jacob.^[b] Selah

^7 (P)Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that ^(Q)the King of glory may come in.
⁸ Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, ^(R)mighty in battle!
⁹ 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?
    ^(S)The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory! Selah

^3 (E)For ^(F)strangers^[b] have risen against me;
    ruthless men ^(G)seek my life;
    they do not set God before themselves. Selah

⁴ Behold, ^(H)God is my helper;
    the Lord is the upholder of my life.
⁵ He will return the evil to my enemies;
    in your ^(I)faithfulness ^(J)put an end to them.

⁶ With a freewill offering I will sacrifice to you;
    I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, ^(K)for it is good.
⁷ For he has delivered me from every trouble,
    and my eye has ^(L)looked in triumph on my enemies.

³ Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    ^(H)my King and my God.
^4 (I)Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
    ever ^(J)singing your praise! Selah

⁵ Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    ^(K)in whose heart are the highways to Zion.^[b]
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
    they make it a place of springs;
    ^(L)the early rain also covers it with ^(M)pools.
⁷ They go ^(N)from strength to strength;
    each one ^(O)appears before God in Zion.

⁸ O ^(P)Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah
^9 (Q)Behold our ^(R)shield, O God;
    look on the face of your anointed!

¹⁰ For a day ^(S)in your courts is better
    than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be ^(T)a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
¹¹ For the Lord God is ^(U)a sun and ^(V)shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor.
^(W)No good thing does he withhold
    from those who ^(X)walk uprightly.
¹² O Lord of hosts,
    ^(Y)blessed is the one who trusts in you!

^3 (D)The sea looked and fled;
    ^(E)Jordan turned back.
^4 (F)The mountains skipped like rams,
    the hills like lambs.

⁵ What ^(G)ails you, O sea, that you flee?
    O Jordan, that you turn back?
⁶ O mountains, that you skip like rams?
    O hills, like lambs?

^7 (H)Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
    at the presence of the God of Jacob,
⁸ who turns ^(I)the rock into ^(J)a pool of water,
    ^(K)the flint into a spring of water.

³ O Lord, ^(H)what is man that you ^(I)regard him,
    or the son of man that you think of him?
^4 (J)Man is like a breath;
    his days are like ^(K)a passing ^(L)shadow.

^5 (M)Bow your heavens, O Lord, and come down!
    ^(N)Touch the mountains so that they smoke!
^6 (O)Flash forth the lightning and scatter them;
    ^(P)send out your arrows and rout them!
^7 (Q)Stretch out your hand from on high;
    ^(R)rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
    from the hand ^(S)of foreigners,
⁸ whose mouths speak ^(T)lies
    and whose right hand is ^(U)a right hand of falsehood.

⁹ I will sing ^(V)a new song to you, O God;
    upon ^(W)a ten-stringed harp I will play to you,
¹⁰ who gives victory to kings,
    who ^(X)rescues David his servant from the cruel sword.
¹¹ Rescue me and deliver me
    from the hand ^(Y)of foreigners,
whose mouths speak ^(Z)lies
    and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

¹² May our sons in their youth
    be like ^(AA)plants full grown,
our daughters like ^(AB)corner pillars
    cut for the structure of a palace;
^13 (AC)may our granaries be full,
    ^(AD)providing all kinds of produce;
may our sheep bring forth thousands
    and ten thousands in our fields;
¹⁴ may our cattle be heavy with young,
    suffering no mishap or failure in bearing;^[b]
may there be no ^(AE)cry of distress in our streets!
^15 (AF)Blessed are the people to whom such blessings fall!
    ^(AG)Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord!
