1The earth is the LORD’S, and all it containeth; the world, and they that dwell in it. 2For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend upon the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
