Psalm 24: 1-6 (NIV) 1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; 2 For he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. 3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. 5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Saviour. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now and shall be forever. — Amen -oo0oo- Cassette tape player needed by 94 year old to listen to talking books.
