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

P. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. S. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord; and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

P. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

S. For the Lord is a great God; and a great King above all gods!

S. The sea is his, and he made it;

P. And his hands formed the dry land.
S. O come, let us worship, and bow down;

and kneel before the Lord our Maker. P. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
