The Lord is ^amy shepherd; ^bI shall not want.

^2cHe maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

^dHe leadeth me beside the still waters.

⁴Yea, ^ffthough I walk through the valley of ^gthe shadow of death,

^hI will fear no evil: ⁱfor thou art with me;

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

^5jThou preparest a table before me ^kin the presence of mine enemies:

Thou ^lanointest my head with oil; my ^mcup runneth over.

⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm XXIV.

A Psalm of David.

^aThe earth is the Lord’s, and ^bthe fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

²For he hath ^cfounded it ^dupon the seas,

And established it upon the floods.

^3eWho shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his ^fholy place?

^4gHe that hath ^hclean hands, and ⁱa pure heart;

Who hath not ^jlift up his soul unto vanity,

Nor sworn deceitfully.

⁵He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,

And righteousness from ^kthe God of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek him,

That ^lseek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

^7mLift up your heads, O ye gates;

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;

And ⁿthe King of glory shall come in.

⁸Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

And the King of glory shall come in.

The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm XXV.

A Psalm of David.

Unto thee, O Lord, do I ^alift up my soul.

²O my God, I ^btrust in thee: ^clet me not be ashamed,

^dLet not mine enemies triumph over me.

³Yea, let ^enone that wait on thee be ashamed:

^eeLet them be ashamed which ^ftransgress without cause.

^4gShew me thy ways, O Lord; ^ggTeach me thy paths.

^5hLead me in thy truth, and teach me:

For thou art the God of my salvation;

On thee do I wait all the day.

⁶Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and ⁱthy lovingkindnesses;

For they have been ever of old.

⁷Remember not ^jthe sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:

^kAccording to thy mercy remember thou me

For thy goodness’ sake, O Lord.

^8kkGood and upright is the Lord:

^hTherefore will he teach sinners in the way.

⁹The meek will he ^lguide in judgment:

And the meek will he ^lteach his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth

Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

^11mFor thy name’s sake, O Lord,

Pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.

¹²What man is he that feareth the Lord?

ⁿHim shall he teach in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul shall ^odwell at ease;

And ^oohis seed ^pshall inherit the earth.

^14qThe secret of the Lord is with them that fear him;

And he will shew them his covenant.

^15rMine eyes are ever towards the Lord;

For he shall pluck my feet out of ^sthe net.

^16tTurn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am ^udesolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

^18wLook upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me:

^xLet me not be ashamed; ^yfor I put my trust in thee.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.

^22zRedeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

Psalm XXVI.

A Psalm of David.

^aJudge me, O Lord; for I have ^bwalked in mine integrity:

^cI have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not ^dslide.

^2eExamine me, O Lord, and prove me;

^fTry ^gmy reins and my heart.

³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes:

And ^hI have walked in thy truth.

⁴ⁱI have not sat with ^kvain persons,

Neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵I have ^lhated the congregation of evildoers;

And ⁱwill not sit with the wicked.

^6mI will wash mine hands in innocency:

So will I compass thine altar, O Lord:

⁷That I may ⁿpublish with the voice of thanksgiving,

And tell of all thy ^owondrous works.

^8pLord, I have loved the habitation of thy house,

And ^qthe place where thine honour dwelleth.

⁹Gather not my soul with sinners,

Nor my life with bloody men:

¹⁰In whose hands is mischief,

And their right hand is full of ^rbribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will ^swalk in mine integrity:

Redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²My foot standeth in an ^teven place:

^uIn the congregations will I bless the Lord.

Psalm XXVII.

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is ^amy light and ^bmy salvation; ^cwhom shall I fear?

The Lord is ^bthe strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

²When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to ^deat up my flesh,

They stumbled and fell.

^3eThough a host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:

Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

^4fOne thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after;

That I may ^gdwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

To behold the ^hbeauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple.

⁵For in the time of trouble he shall ⁱhide me in his pavilion:

In the secret of his tabernacle shall he ⁱhide me;

He shall ^jset me up upon a rock.

⁶And now shall ^kmine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.

^7lHear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice:

^lHave mercy also upon me, and answer me.

⁸When thou saidst, ^mSeek ye my face; my heart said unto thee,

Thy face, Lord, will I seek.

⁹ⁿHide not thy face far from me;

Put not thy servant away in anger:

Thou hast been my help; leave me not,

Neither forsake me, ^oO God of my salvation.

¹⁰When my father and ^pmy mother forsake me,

Then the Lord will take me up.

^11qTeach me thy way, O Lord,

And lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

^12rDeliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies:

For ^sfalse witnesses are risen up against me, and such as ^tbreathe out cruelty.

¹³I had fainted, unless I had believed

To see the goodness of the Lord ^uin the land of the living.

^14xWait on the Lord:

^yBe of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart:

Wait, I say, on the Lord.

Psalm XXVIII.

A Psalm of David.

Unto thee will I cry, O Lord ^amy rock; ^bbe not silent to me:

Lest, if thou be silent to me, ^cI become like ^cdthem that go down into the pit.

²ⁱⁱHear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee,

When I ^ddlift up my hands ^etoward thy holy ^foracle.

³Draw me not away with the wicked, and with ^ffthe workers of iniquity,

^gWhich speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

^4hGive them according to their deeds,

And according to the wickedness of their endeavours:

Give them after the work of their hands;

Render to them ^hhtheir desert.

⁵Because ⁱthey regard not the works of the Lord,

Nor the operation of his hands,

He shall destroy them, and not build them up.

⁶Blessed be the Lord, because he hath ⁱⁱheard the voice of my supplications.

⁷The Lord is my strength and my ^jshield;

My heart ^ktrusted in him, and I am helped:

Therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

And with my song will I praise him.

⁸The Lord is their strength,

And he is the saving strength of his anointed.

⁹Save ^lthy people,

And bless ^lthine inheritance:

Feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Psalm XXIX.

A Psalm of David.

Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty,

^aGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

^2aGive unto the Lord ^athe glory due unto his name;

Worship the Lord in ^bthe beauty of holiness.

³The voice of the Lord is upon the waters:

^cThe God of glory thundereth:

The Lord is upon ^dmany waters.

⁴The voice of the Lord is powerful;

The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars;

Yea, the Lord breaketh ^ethe cedars of Lebanon.

⁶He maketh them also to ^fskip like a calf;

Lebanon and ^gSirion like a young ^hunicorn.

⁷The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire.

⁸The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness;

The Lord shaketh the wilderness of ⁱKadesh.

⁹The voice of the Lord maketh ^kthe hinds to calve,

And discovereth the forests:

And in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.

¹⁰The Lord sitteth upon ^lthe flood;

Yea, ^mthe Lord sitteth King for ever.

¹¹The Lord will give ⁿstrength unto his people;

The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Psalm XXX.

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

^aI will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up,

And hast ^aanot made my foes to rejoice over me.

²O Lord my God, ^bI cried unto thee, and thou hast ^bbhealed me.

³O Lord, ^cthou hast brought up my soul from ^dthe grave:

Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not ^ego down to the pit.

⁴Sing unto the Lord, O ye ^fsaints of his,

And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

⁵For ^ghis anger endureth but a moment; ^hin his favour is life:

ⁱWeeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh ^jin the morning.

⁶And ^kin my prosperity I said,

^lI shall never be moved.

⁷Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong:

^mThou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁸I cried to thee, O Lord;

And ^mmunto the Lord I made supplication.

⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit?

ⁿShall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

^10oHear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me:

Lord, be thou my helper.

¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning ^pinto dancing:

Thou hast put off my ^qsackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Psalm XXXI.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

^aIn thee, O Lord, do I put my trust;

^aLet me never be ashamed:

^bDeliver me in thy righteousness.
