Psalm 22–23

Psalm 22

¹A psalm for David.

The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.

²He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:

³He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.

⁴For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.

⁵Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebreateth me, how goodly is it!

⁶And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.

Psalm 23

¹On the first day of the week, a psalm for David.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

²For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

³Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

⁵He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

⁷Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

⁸Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

⁹Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

¹⁰Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
