Psalm 23-24

New American Standard Bible

The Lord, the Psalmist’s Shepherd.

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my ^(A)shepherd,
I will ^(B)not be in need.
²He lets me lie down in ^(C)green pastures;
He ^(D)leads me beside ^[a]^(E)quiet waters.
³He ^(F)restores my soul;
He ^(G)guides me in the ^[b]^(H)paths of righteousness
For the sake of His name.

⁴Even though I ^(I)walk through the ^[c]valley of the shadow of death,
I ^(J)fear no ^[d]evil, for ^(K)You are with me;
Your ^(L)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
⁵You ^(M)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You ^[e]have ^(N)anointed my head with oil;
My ^(O)cup overflows.
⁶^[f]Certainly ^(P)goodness and ^[g]faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life,
And my ^(Q)dwelling will be in the house of the Lord ^[h]forever.

The King of Glory Entering Zion.

A Psalm of David.

24 The ^(R)earth is the Lord’s, and ^[i]all it contains,
The ^(S)world, and those who live in it.
²For He has ^(T)founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
³Who may ^(U)ascend onto the ^(V)hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy ^(W)place?
⁴One who has ^(X)clean hands and a ^(Y)pure heart,
Who has not ^(Z)lifted up his soul to deceit
And has not ^(AA)sworn deceitfully.
⁵He will receive a ^(AB)blessing from the Lord
And ^[j]^(AC)righteousness from the God of his salvation.
⁶^[k]This is the generation of those who ^(AD)seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah

⁷^(AE)Lift up your heads, you gates,
And be lifted up, you ^[l]ancient doors,
That the King of ^(AF)glory may come in!
⁸Who is the King of glory?
The Lord ^(AG)strong and mighty,
The Lord ^(AH)mighty in battle.
⁹Lift up your heads, you gates,
And lift them up, you ^[m]ancient doors,
That the King of ^(AI)glory may come in!
¹⁰Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of ^(AJ)armies,
He is the King of glory. Selah
