Psalm 24

¹A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

²For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

³Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

⁵He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek after him, that seek thy face, O God of Jacob. Selah

⁷Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.

⁸Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

⁹Lift up your heads, O ye gates; yea, lift them up, ye 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

¹A Psalm of David. Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.

²O my God, in thee have I trusted, let me not be ashamed; let not mine enemies triumph over me.

³Yea, none that wait on thee shall be ashamed: they shall be ashamed that deal treacherously without cause.

⁴Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

⁵Guide me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

⁶Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old.

⁷Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy lovingkindness remember thou me, for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.

⁸Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

⁹The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

¹⁰All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great.

¹²What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he instruct in the way that he shall choose.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the land.

¹⁴The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

¹⁵Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted.

¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses.

¹⁸Consider mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider mine enemies, for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.

²⁰O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in thee.

²¹Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait on thee.

²²Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles.

¹A Psalm of David. Judge me, O LORD, for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD without wavering.

²Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.

³For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes; and I have walked in thy truth.

⁴I have not sat with vain persons; neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵I hate the congregation of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked.

⁶I will wash mine hands in innocency; so will I compass thine altar, O LORD:

⁷That I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all thy wondrous works.

⁸LORD, I love the habitation of thy house, and the place where thy glory dwelleth.

⁹Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with men of blood:

¹⁰In whose hands is mischief, and their right hand is full of bribes.

¹¹But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: redeem me, and be merciful unto me.

¹²My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD.
