Tap a verse to highlight it

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is HaShem'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of HaShem? and who shall stand in His holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a blessing from HaShem, and righteousness from the G-d of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

8 'Who is the King of glory?' 'The HaShem strong and mighty, HaShem mighty in battle.'

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

10 'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The HaShem of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
