Psalm 23–24

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

¹Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

²He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

He leadeth me beside still waters.

³He restoreth my soul:

He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil; for thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou hast anointed my head with oil;

My cup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of Jehovah for ever.

Psalm 24

A Psalm of David.

¹The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

²For he hath founded it upon the seas,

And established it upon the floods.

³Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah?

And who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart;

Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood,

And hath not sworn deceitfully.

⁵He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah,

And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek after him,

That seek thy face, even Jacob. Selah

⁷Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors:

And the King of glory will come in.

⁸Who is the King of glory?

Jehovah strong and mighty,

Jehovah mighty in battle.

⁹Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors:

And the King of glory will come in.

¹⁰Who is this King of glory?

Jehovah of hosts,

He is the King of glory. Selah
