Psalm 15

English Standard Version

Who Shall Dwell on Your Holy Hill?

A Psalm of David.

15 O Lord, ^(A)who shall sojourn in your ^(B)tent?
Who shall dwell on your ^(C)holy hill?

²He who ^(D)walks blamelessly and ^(E)does what is right
    and ^(F)speaks truth in his heart;
³who ^(G)does not slander with his tongue
    and does no evil to his neighbor,
    nor ^(H)takes up a reproach against his friend;
⁴^(I)in whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    but who honors those who fear the Lord;
who ^(J)swears to his own hurt and does not change;
⁵who ^(K)does not put out his money at interest
    and ^(L)does not take a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things shall never be ^(M)moved.

Psalm 23-25

English Standard Version

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my ^(A)shepherd; I shall not ^(B)want.
²    He makes me lie down in green ^(C)pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.^[a]
³    He ^(D)restores my soul.
He ^(E)leads me in ^(F)paths of righteousness^[b]
    for his ^(G)name's sake.

⁴Even though I ^(H)walk through the valley of ^(I)the shadow of death,^[c]
    I will ^(J)fear no evil,
for ^(K)you are with me;
    your ^(L)rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

⁵You ^(M)prepare a table before me
    in ^(N)the presence of my enemies;
you ^(O)anoint my head with oil;
    my ^(P)cup overflows.
⁶Surely^[d] goodness and mercy^[e] shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall ^(Q)dwell^[f] in the house of the Lord
    ^(R)forever.^[g]

The King of Glory

A Psalm of David.

24 ^(S)The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,^[h]
the world and those who dwell therein,
²for he has ^(T)founded it upon ^(U)the seas
and established it upon the rivers.

³^(V)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
    And who shall stand in his ^(W)holy place?
⁴^(X)He who has ^(Y)clean hands and ^(Z)a pure heart,
    who does not ^(AA)lift up his soul to ^(AB)what is false
    and does not swear deceitfully.
⁵He will receive ^(AC)blessing from the Lord
    and ^(AD)righteousness from ^(AE)the God of his salvation.
⁶Such is ^(AF)the generation of those who seek him,
    who ^(AG)seek the face of the God of Jacob.^[i] Selah

⁷^(AH)Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
    that ^(AI)the King of glory may come in.
⁸Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, ^(AJ)mighty in battle!
⁹Lift up your heads, O gates!
    And lift them up, O ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
¹⁰Who is this King of glory?
    ^(AK)The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory! Selah

Teach Me Your Paths

^[j] Of David.

25 To you, O Lord, I ^(AL)lift up my soul.
²O my God, in you I ^(AM)trust;
    ^(AN)let me not be put to shame;
    ^(AO)let not my enemies exult over me.
³Indeed, ^(AP)none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
    they shall be ashamed who are ^(AQ)wantonly ^(AR)treacherous.

⁴^(AS)Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵Lead me in your ^(AT)truth and teach me,

    for you I wait all the day long.

⁶Remember your ^(AU)mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,
    ^(AV)for they have been from of old.
⁷Remember not ^(AW)the sins of my youth or my transgressions;
    according to your ^(AX)steadfast love remember me,
    for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

⁸^(AY)Good and upright is the Lord;
    therefore he ^(AZ)instructs sinners in the way.
⁹He leads the humble in what is right,
    and teaches the humble his way.
¹⁰All the paths of the Lord are ^(BA)steadfast love and faithfulness,
    for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

¹¹For your ^(BB)name's sake, O Lord,
    pardon my guilt, for it is ^(BC)great.
¹²Who is the man who fears the Lord?
    Him ^(BD)will he instruct in the way that he should choose.
¹³His soul shall ^(BE)abide in well-being,
    and his ^(BF)offspring ^(BG)shall inherit the land.
¹⁴^(BH)The friendship^[k] of the Lord is for those who fear him,
    and he makes known to them his covenant.
¹⁵My ^(BI)eyes are ever toward the Lord,
    for he will ^(BJ)pluck my feet out of the net.

¹⁶^(BK)Turn to me and be gracious to me,
    for I am lonely and afflicted.
¹⁷The troubles of my heart are enlarged;
    bring me out of my distresses.
¹⁸^(BL)Consider my affliction and my trouble,
    and forgive all my sins.

¹⁹Consider how many are my foes,
    and with what violent hatred they hate me.
²⁰Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!
    ^(BM)Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
²¹May integrity and uprightness preserve me,
    for I wait for you.

²²^(BN)Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.
