Psalms 24

1 A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.

[A Psalm by David.] The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

2 For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
