Psalm 23 (24)

1 A psalm of David.

I

 The earth is the LORD'S and all it holds, the world and those who live there.

2 For God founded it on the seas, established it over the rivers.

II

3 Who may go up the mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place?

4 "The clean of hand and pure of heart, who are not devoted to idols, who have not sworn falsely.

5 They will receive blessings from the LORD, and justice from their saving God.

6 Such are the people that love the LORD, that seek the face of the God of Jacob." Selah

III

7 Lift up your heads, O gates; rise up, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter.

8 Who is this king of glory? The LORD, a mighty warrior, the LORD, mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates; rise up, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter.

10 Who is this king of glory? The LORD of hosts is the king of glory. Selah
