1The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it. 2For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers. Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place? 4One who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to deceit And has not sworn deceitfully. 5He will receive a blessing from the Lord And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
