II

Who may go up the mountain of the Lord?(A)
    Who can stand in his holy place?
[a]“The clean of hand and pure of heart,
    who has not given his soul to useless things,
    what is vain.
He will receive blessings from the Lord,
    and justice from his saving God.
Such is the generation that seeks him,
    that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.”
Selah
