Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

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

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

dHe leadeth me beside the †still waters.

3  He restoreth my soul:

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

4  Yea, 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.

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

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

6  Surely 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 24

A Psalm of David.

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

The world, and they that dwell therein.

2  For he hath cfounded it dupon the seas,

And established it upon the floods.

3  eWho shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?

Or who shall stand in his fholy place?

4  g†He that hath hclean hands, and ia pure heart;

Who hath not jlifted up his soul unto vanity,

Nor sworn deceitfully.

5  He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,

And righteousness from kthe God of his salvation.

6  This is the generation of them that seek him,

That lseek thy face, ||O Jacob. Selah.

7  mLift up your heads, O ye gates;

And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;

And nthe King of glory shall come in.

8  Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

The Lord mighty in battle.

9  Lift up your heads, O ye gates;

Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;

And the King of glory shall come in.

10  Who is this King of glory?

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