<p class="poetry">Who is allowed to ascend<n id="1" /> the mountain of the <sc>Lordsc>?<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?p>

<p class="poetry">O <sc>Lordsc>, I love the temple where you live,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">the place where your splendor is revealed.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Evil men will soon disappear;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">Yet you have battered us, leaving us a heap of ruins overrun by wild dogs;<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">you have covered us with darkness.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">until I find a place for the <sc>Lordsc>,p> <p class="poetry">a fine dwelling place<n id="1" /> for the powerful ruler of Jacob.&#8221;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">but when the hot wind<n id="1" /> blows by, it disappears,p> <p class="poetry">and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.p>

<p class="poetry">Praise the <sc>Lordsc>, all that he has made,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">in all the regions<n id="2" /> of his kingdom!p> <p class="poetry">Praise the <sc>Lordsc>, O my soul!p>

<p class="poetry">as the mountains rose up,p> <p class="poetry">and the valleys went down &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">to the place you appointed for them.<n id="1" />p>
