1 The earth and the riches that in it are stored,
the world and its dwellers belong to the LORD.
For he is the One who first caused it to stand,
and up from the seas he established the land.
2Â O who can the path to the LORD’s mount ascend?
And who in the place of his holiness stand?
The man of pure heart and of hands without stain,
who swears not to idols nor worships the vain.
3Â Yes, he from the LORD shall a blessing obtain,
and from God his Savior he’ll righteousness gain.
Thus looking to him is a whole blessed race;
all those who, like Jacob, are seeking your face.

O Lord God, eternal and almighty Father, we acknowledge before Your holy majesty that we are poor sinners, conceived and born in guilt and in corruption.
