¹The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

²For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

³Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

⁴Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.[#24:4. “Clean” in the sense of innocent and not guilty of sin.; #24:4. “Don't worship idols” or “don't take the name of the Lord in vain.”]

⁵They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

⁶These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. Selah.
