1 The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

1 The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

2 For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

2For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

3 Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

3Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

4 He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

4He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from theGod of his salvation.
