¹ [A Psalme of Dauid.] The earth is the Lords, and the fulnesse thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.¹

² For he hath founded it vpon the seas, and established it vpon the floods.²

³ Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?³

⁴ He that hath cleane hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lift vp his soule vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.⁴

⁵ Hee shall receiue the blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

⁶ This is the generation of them that seeke him: that seeke thy face, O Iacob. Selah.⁶

⁷ Lift vp your heads, O yee gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores; and the King of glory shall come in.
