New King James Version NKJV
New Living Translation NLT
1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.
1
The earth is the LORD ’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.
2
For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.
3 Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place?
3
Who may climb the mountain of the LORD ? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.
4
Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies.
5 He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
5
They will receive the LORD ’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior.
