Title: *An Expansion of PSALM 24: 3-5 *

Who shall ascend 

The hill of the LORD?

Into such hearts 

Shall pure love be stored.

And who shall stand

In His Holy place?

God in His Mercy 

Shall lend him Grace.

He that has clean hands,

And a pure heart,

Who from the 

Word of God

Would never depart.

He who does not

Lift up his soul 

For what is false,

And is swift to respond

When duty calls.

He never swears, 

deceitfully.

But shares God's 

Teachings peacefully.

He will receive 

The joy and blessings 

Of our LORD;

All righteousness 

From the God 

Of his salvation

Under the auspices

Of Divine intervention.
