Context of Psalms 24:3
1The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. 2For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. 5He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
