Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in His holy place?—
3
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His holy place?
מִי יַעֲלֶה בְהַר ה׳. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁכָּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל שֶׁלּוֹ, אֵין הַכֹּל כְּדַאי לִיקָרֵב אֵלָיו, אֶלָּא נְקִי כַפַּיִם וְגוֹמֵר:
Who will ascend upon the Lord’s mount Although all the inhabitants of the world are His, not everyone deserves to come near to Him, except these: he who has clean hands, etc.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not taken a false oath by My life
or sworn deceitfully.
4
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
לֹא נָשָׂא לַשָּׁוְא נַפְשִׁי. לֹא נִשְׁבַּע בִּשְׁמִי וּבְנַפְשִׁי לַשָּׁוְא. מָצִינוּ לְשׁוֹן שְׁבוּעָה נוֹפֵל עַל נֶפֶשׁ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״נִשְׁבַּע ה׳ צְבָאוֹת בְּנַפְשׁוֹ״ (ירמיהו נא:יד):
who has not taken My name in vain Who has not sworn with My name and My soul in vain. We find an expression of an oath used with the soul (נפש), as it is stated (in Amos 6:8): “The Lord God swore by Himself (בנפשו).”

a just reward from God, his deliverer.
