Psalms 24:1-5

Psalm 24

A psalm of David.

24:1 The Lord owns the earth and all it contains,

the world and all who live in it.

24:2 For he set its foundation upon the seas,

and established it upon the ocean currents.

24:3 Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?

24:4 The one whose deeds are blameless

and whose motives are pure,

who does not lie,

or make promises with no intention of keeping them.

24:5 Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord,

and vindicated by the God who delivers them.
