1 The earth is the lord’s, and everything in it.The world and all its people belong to him.
2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seasand built it on the ocean depths.
3 Who may climb the mountain of the lord?Who may stand in his holy place?
4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,who do not worship idolsand never tell lies.
5 They will receive the lord’s blessingand have a right relationship with God their savior.
6 Such people may seek youand worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.Interlude
