The Lord built the foundation of the earth.
    He built it on the seas and the rivers.[a]

Who may climb up the hill of the Lord?[b]
    Who can stand in his holy place?[c]
Only the person who does what is right,
    and who has pure thoughts.
He does not worship idols
    and he does not make false promises.
