Psalms 23

¹For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it

²For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers

³Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place

⁴The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor

⁵He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour

⁶This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob

⁷Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter

⁸Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle

⁹Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter

¹⁰Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory
