לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמ֥וֹר לַֽ֭יהֹוָה הָאָ֣רֶץ וּמְלוֹאָ֑הּ תֵּ֝בֵ֗ל וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃
ledavid mizmor la-Adonai ha'arets umelo'ah tevel veyosheve vah
Of David. A psalm. The earth is GOD’s and all that it holds, the world and its inhabitants.
כִּי־ה֭וּא עַל־יַמִּ֣ים יְסָדָ֑הּ וְעַל־נְ֝הָר֗וֹת יְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃
ki-hu al-yammim yesadah ve'al-neharot yekhoneneha
For [God] founded it upon the ocean, set it on the nether-streams.
מִֽי־יַעֲלֶ֥ה בְהַר־יְהֹוָ֑ה וּמִי־יָ֝ק֗וּם בִּמְק֥וֹם קׇדְשֽׁוֹ׃
mi-ya'aleh vehar-Adonai umi-yaqum bimqom qodsho
Who may ascend GOD’s mountain? Who may stand in that holy place?—
נְקִ֥י כַפַּ֗יִם וּֽבַר־לֵ֫בָ֥ב אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹא־נָשָׂ֣א לַשָּׁ֣וְא נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לְמִרְמָֽה׃
neqi khappayim uvar-levav asher lo-nasa lashav nafshi velo nishba lemirmah
Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not taken a false oath by My life or sworn deceitfully.
יִשָּׂ֣א בְ֭רָכָה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהֹוָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה מֵאֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעֽוֹ׃
yissa verakhah me'et Adonai utsedaqah me'elohe yisho
They shall carry away a blessing from GOD, a just reward from God, their deliverer.
זֶ֭ה דּ֣וֹר דֹּרְשָׁ֑ו מְבַקְשֵׁ֨י פָנֶ֖יךָ יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

O gates, lift up your heads! Up high, you everlasting doors, so the King of glory may come in!
מִ֥י זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫ב֥וֹד יְ֭הֹוָה עִזּ֣וּז וְגִבּ֑וֹר יְ֝הֹוָ֗ה גִּבּ֥וֹר מִלְחָמָֽה׃
