Psalm 23-24

New King James Version

The Lord the Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is ^(A)my shepherd;
^(B)I shall not ^[a]want.
²^(C)He makes me to lie down in ^[b]green pastures;
^(D)He leads me beside the ^[c]still waters.
³He restores my soul;
^(E)He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

⁴Yea, though I walk through the valley of ^(F)the shadow of death,
^(G)I will fear no evil;
^(H)For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

⁵You ^(I)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You ^(J)anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will ^[d]dwell in the house of the Lord
^[e]Forever.

The King of Glory and His Kingdom

A Psalm of David.

24 The ^(K)earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.
²For He has ^(L)founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the ^[f]waters.

³^(M)Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
⁴He who has ^(N)clean hands and ^(O)a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor ^(P)sworn deceitfully.
⁵He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
⁶This is Jacob, the generation of those who ^(Q)seek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah

⁷^(R)Lift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
^(S)And the King of glory shall come in.
⁸Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in ^(T)battle.
⁹Lift up your heads, O you gates!
Lift up, you 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
