3 Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?

Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.

5 He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
