Psalms 21

1To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. [1] The king shall have joy in Your strength, O LORD; And in Your salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

2You have given him his heart’s desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah

3For You meet him with the blessings of goodness; You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

4He asked life from You, and You gave it to him— Length of days forever and ever.

5His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him.

6For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence.

7For the king trusts in the LORD, And through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

8Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You.

9You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The LORD shall swallow them up in His wrath, And the fire shall devour them.

10Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.

11For they intended evil against You; They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.

12Therefore You will make them turn their back; You will make ready Your arrows on Your string toward their faces.

13Be exalted, O LORD, in Your own strength! We will sing and praise Your power.

Psalms 22

1To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Deer of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. [1] My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning?

2O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.

3But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

4Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.

5They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

8“He trusted in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

9But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.

10I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb You have been My God.

11Be not far from Me, For trouble is near; For there is none to help.

12Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.

13They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion.

14I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me.

15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death.

16For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet;

17I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me.

18They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.

19But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog.

21Save Me from the lion’s mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.

22I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!

24For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.

25My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!

27All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You.

28For the kingdom is the LORD’s, And He rules over the nations.

29All the prosperous of the earth Shall eat and worship; All those who go down to the dust Shall bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

30A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,

31They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this.

Psalms 23

1A Psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.

3He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

Psalms 24

1A Psalm of David. [1] The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.

2For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters.

3Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place?

4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

6This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah

7Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.

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

9Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you 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
