1The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it.The world and all its people belong to him.

2For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seasand built it on the ocean depths.

3Who may climb the mountain of the LORD?Who may stand in his holy place?

4Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,who do not worship idolsand never tell lies.

5They will receive the LORD’s blessingand have a right relationship with God their savior.
