4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

The clean of hands, the pure of heart, who sets not their heart upon sinful things, nor swears with intent to deceive:

5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

they win from the Lord a blessing: God is their champion and savior.
