Psalms 23
1 A Psalm for David on the first day
of the week.
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world, and all that dwell
in it. 2 He has founded it upon the
seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall go up to the mountain of
the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that is innocent in his hands and
pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn
deceitfully
aOr, against.to his neighbour. 5 He shall receive
a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that
seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.
7 Lift up your gates, ye princes, and
be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the 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 gates, ye princes; and
be ye lift 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 this king of glory.
