Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, 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. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

Psalm 24

Of David. A Psalm.

The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

³Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place? ⁴He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully: ⁵He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. ⁶This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

⁷Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. ⁸Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. ⁹Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. ¹⁰Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 25

A Psalm of David.

Unto thee, Jehovah, do I lift up my soul. My God, I confide in thee; let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause. Make me to know thy ways, O Jehovah; teach me thy paths. Make me to walk in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. Remember, Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they are from everlasting. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy loving-kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, Jehovah.

⁸Good and upright is Jehovah; therefore will he instruct sinners in the way: ⁹The meek will he guide in judgment, and the meek will he teach his way. ¹⁰All the paths of Jehovah are loving-kindness and truth for such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. ¹¹For thy name’s sake, O Jehovah, thou wilt indeed pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. ¹²What man is he that feareth Jehovah? him will he instruct in the way that he should choose. ¹³His soul shall dwell in prosperity, and his seed shall inherit the earth. ¹⁴The secret of Jehovah is with them that fear him, that he may make known his covenant to them.

¹⁵Mine eyes are ever toward Jehovah; for he will bring my feet out of the net. ¹⁶Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted. ¹⁷The troubles of my heart are increased: bring me out of my distresses; ¹⁸Consider mine affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins. ¹⁹Consider mine enemies, for they are many, and they hate me with cruel hatred. ²⁰Keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I trust in thee. ²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. ²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.
