Declaring an array of constant with Verilog

first i want to apologize for my ignorance,this question may be stupid for many of you..but i am a newbie in the domain of Hw dev
I am trying to turn a software function into a hardware accelerator... in the C code we use an array of integer to calculate a certain value as shown here

uint k[64] = {
0x428a2f98,0x71374491,0xb5c0fbcf,0xe9b5dba5,0x3956c25b,0x59f111f1,0x923f82a4,0xab1c5ed5, 
0xd807aa98,0x12835b01,0x243185be,0x550c7dc3,0x72be5d74,0x80deb1fe,0x9bdc06a7,0xc19bf174,
0xe49b69c1,0xefbe4786,0x0fc19dc6,0x240ca1cc,0x2de92c6f,0x4a7484aa,0x5cb0a9dc,0x76f988da,
0x983e5152,0xa831c66d,0xb00327c8,0xbf597fc7,0xc6e00bf3,0xd5a79147,0x06ca6351,0x14292967,
0x27b70a85,0x2e1b2138,0x4d2c6dfc,0x53380d13,0x650a7354,0x766a0abb,0x81c2c92e,0x92722c85,
0xa2bfe8a1,0xa81a664b,0xc24b8b70,0xc76c51a3,0xd192e819,0xd6990624,0xf40e3585,0x106aa070,
0x19a4c116,0x1e376c08,0x2748774c,0x34b0bcb5,0x391c0cb3,0x4ed8aa4a,0x5b9cca4f,0x682e6ff3,
0x748f82ee,0x78a5636f,0x84c87814,0x8cc70208,0x90befffa,0xa4506ceb,0xbef9a3f7,0xc67178f2
};

as you see here am gonna use it to calculate t1

$  t1 = h + EP1(e) + CH(e,f,g) + k[i] + m[i];

however am not certain how to declare this array without using registers, i have a verilog file in whitch it uses localparam to declare a constant. so i wonder could i use it with this vector as below ?

localparam [31:0] k[63:0] =
{0x428a2f98,0x71374491,0xb5c0fbcf,0xe9b5dba5,0x3956c25b,0x59f111f1,0x923f82a4,0xab1c5ed5,
0xd807aa98,0x12835b01,0x243185be,0x550c7dc3,0x72be5d74,0x80deb1fe,0x9bdc06a7,0xc19bf174,
0xe49b69c1,0xefbe4786,0x0fc19dc6,0x240ca1cc,0x2de92c6f,0x4a7484aa,0x5cb0a9dc,0x76f988da,
0x983e5152,0xa831c66d,0xb00327c8,0xbf597fc7,0xc6e00bf3,0xd5a79147,0x06ca6351,0x14292967,
0x27b70a85,0x2e1b2138,0x4d2c6dfc,0x53380d13,0x650a7354,0x766a0abb,0x81c2c92e,0x92722c85,
0xa2bfe8a1,0xa81a664b,0xc24b8b70,0xc76c51a3,0xd192e819,0xd6990624,0xf40e3585,0x106aa070,
0x19a4c116,0x1e376c08,0x2748774c,0x34b0bcb5,0x391c0cb3,0x4ed8aa4a,0x5b9cca4f,0x682e6ff3,

You might be better off going with an integer type rather than localparam. Logic types are 4-state, which is more expensive on the simulator and since you are using it as a constant value (I assume), you should be fine with integer.

integer k[64] = {
32'h428a2f98,32'h71374491,32'hb5c0fbcf,32'he9b5dba5,32'h3956c25b,32'h59f111f1,32'h923f82a4,32'hab1c5ed5,

Yes you can. However, 0x is not verilog syntax, use 32'h (or just 'h if you want it less strongly typed) instead.

localparam logic [31:0] k[63:0] =
{
32'h428a2f98,32'h71374491,32'hb5c0fbcf,32'he9b5dba5,32'h3956c25b,32'h59f111f1,32'h923f82a4,32'hab1c5ed5,
32'hd807aa98,32'h12835b01,32'h243185be,32'h550c7dc3,32'h72be5d74,32'h80deb1fe,32'h9bdc06a7,32'hc19bf174,
32'he49b69c1,32'hefbe4786,32'h0fc19dc6,32'h240ca1cc,32'h2de92c6f,32'h4a7484aa,32'h5cb0a9dc,32'h76f988da,
