Psalm 23–24

Psalm XXIII.

A Psalm of David.

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.

³He restoreth my soul:

^eHe leadeth me in the paths of righteousness ^ffor his name’s sake.

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.

⁹Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;

And the King of glory shall come in.

¹⁰Who is this King of glory?

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