of

the

Lord

shall

be

revealed

,

and

the

house

of

God

upon

the

tops

of

the

mountains

;

and

it

shall

be

exalted

above

the

hills

,

and

all

nations

shall

come

upon

it

,

and

many

shall

walk

and

say

,

Come

,

and

let

us

go

up

into

the

mountain

of

the

Lord

,

and

into

the

house

of

the

God

of

Jacob

;

and

He

will

tell

us

His

way

,

and

we

will

walk

in

it

.

For

from

Sion

shall

proceed

the

law

,

and

the

word

of

the

Lord

from

Jerusalem

;

and

He

shall

judge

among

the

nations

,

and

shall

rebuke

much

people

;

and

they

shall

beat

their

swords

into

ploughshares

,

and

their

spears

into

pruning

-

hooks

,

and

they

shall

no

more

learn

to

fight

.

third

Psalm

:

“

Who

shall

ascend

into

the

hill

of

the

Lord

,

or

who

shall

stand

in

His

holy

place

?

He

that

is

innocent

in

his

hands

,

and

of

a

clean

heart

;

who

hath

not

received

his

life

in

vanity

,

and

hath

not

sworn

craftily

to

his

neighbour

.

He

shall

receive

the

blessing

from

the

Lord

,

and

mercy

from

the

God

that

saveth

him

.

This

is

the

generation

of

those

who

seek

Him

,

that

seek

the

face

of

the

God

of

Jacob

.
