Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 God claims Earth and everything in it, God claims World and all who live on it.
1
A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
2 He built it on Ocean foundations, laid it out on River girders.
2
For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
3 Who can climb Mount God? Who can scale the holy north-face?
3
Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
4 Only the clean-handed, only the pure-hearted; Men who won't cheat, women who won't seduce.
4
The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
5 God is at their side; with God's help they make it.
5
He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This, Jacob, is what happens to God-seekers, God-questers.
6
This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah.
7 Wake up, you sleepyhead city! Wake up, you sleepyhead people! King-Glory is ready to enter.
7
Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
8 Who is this King-Glory? God, armed and battle-ready.
8
Who [is] this -- `the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
9 Wake up, you sleepyhead city! Wake up, you sleepyhead people! King-Glory is ready to enter.
9
Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
10 Who is this King-Glory? God of the angel armies: he is King-Glory.
10
Who [is] He -- this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts -- He [is] the king of glory! Selah.
