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.

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

3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine 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 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne 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 receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

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