“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He: Heb. The clean of hands”
Psalms 24:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 24:4
The answer requires moral purity: 'clean hands and a pure heart.' Hands represent deeds (external righteousness), heart represents motives (internal righteousness). 'Not lifted up his soul unto vanity' means rejecting idolatry and false worship. 'Nor sworn deceitfully' requires truthfulness. From a Reformed perspective, these requirements are impossible for fallen humanity (Rom. 3:23), pointing to our need for Christ's imputed righteousness. Only through union with Christ do believers meet these standards—His purity covers us.
