The Book of Psalms
Chapter 23
1 – On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.
2 – For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
3 – Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 – The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully 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, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7 – Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
8 – Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
9 – Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
10 – Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
