1A Davidic psalm. The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the LORD; | 1The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. |
2for He laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers. | 2For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths. |
3Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place? | 3Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? |
4The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on what is false, and who has not sworn deceitfully. | 4Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. |
5He will receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. | 5They will receive the LORD’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior. |
