3Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
3Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
5He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
