Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd,t I lack nothing.u

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,v

3 he refreshes my soul.w

He guides mex along the right pathsy

for his name’s sake.z

4 Even though I walk

through the darkest valley,a a

I will fear no evil,b

for you are with me;c

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

5 You prepare a tabled before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;e

my cupf overflows.

6 Surely your goodness and loveg will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is the Lord’s,h and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it;i

2 for he founded it on the seas

and established it on the waters.j

3 Who may ascend the mountaink of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place?l

4 The one who has clean handsm and a pure heart,n

who does not trust in an idolo

or swear by a false god.a

5 They will receive blessingp from the Lord

and vindicationq from God their Savior.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,

who seek your face,r God of Jacob.b,c

7 Lift up your heads, you gates;s

be lifted up, you ancient doors,

that the Kingt of gloryu may come in.v

8 Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,w

the Lord mighty in battle.x

9 Lift up your heads, you gates;

lift them up, you ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is he, this King of glory?

The Lord Almightyy—

he is the King of glory.
