Who may climb up the hill of the Lord?[a]
    Who can stand in his holy place?[b]
Only the person who does what is right,
    and who has pure thoughts.
He does not worship idols
    and he does not make false promises.
The Lord will bless people who are like that.
God will save them.
    He will say that they are not guilty of wrong things.
