ESVEnglish Standard Version

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,

the world and those who dwell therein,

for he has founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the rivers.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to what is false

and does not swear deceitfully.

He will receive blessing from the Lord

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it;

for he founded it on the seas

and established it on the waters.

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not trust in an idol

or swear by a false god.

They will receive blessing from the Lord

and vindication from God their Savior.

Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek your face, God of Jacob.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The earth and everything in it,

the world and its inhabitants,

belong to the Lord;

for he laid its foundation on the seas

and established it on the rivers.

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who has not appealed to what is false,

and who has not sworn deceitfully.

He will receive blessing from the Lord,

and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Such is the generation of those who inquire of him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Selah

NLTNew Living Translation

The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.

The world and all its people belong to him.

For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas

and built it on the ocean depths.

Who may climb the mountain of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?

Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,

who do not worship idols

and never tell lies.

They will receive the Lord’s blessing

and have a right relationship with God their savior.

Such people may seek you

and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.

Interlude

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness,

the world and those who live in it,

because he has founded it on the seas,

and has established it on the rivers.

Who may ascend the mountain of Yahweh?

And who may stand in his holy place?

He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart,

who does not lift up his soul to falseness,

and does not swear deceitfully.

He will receive blessing from Yahweh,

and justice from the God of his salvation.

Such is the sort of those who seek him,

those who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah

KJV 1900King James Version

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

For he hath founded it upon the seas,

And established it upon the floods.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?

Or who shall stand in his holy place?

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;

Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity,

Nor sworn deceitfully.

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,

And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of them that seek him,

That seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
