Psalm 24 :: New Living Translation (NLT)

Psa 24:1A psalm of David.

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

Psa 24:2For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas
and built it on the ocean depths.

Psa 24:3Who may climb the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?

Psa 24:4Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,
who do not worship idols
and never tell lies.

Psa 24:5They will receive the LORD’s blessing
and have a right relationship with God their savior.

Psa 24:6Such people may seek you
and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.
