3Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
3Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4He that is innocent in his handsand pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
