Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and all it containeth; the world, and they that dwell in it.

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend upon the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

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

He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.
