Psalms 23; Psalms 24; Psalms 25

1 The LORD is my shepherd. I lack nothing.

2 He lets me rest in grassy meadows; he leads me to restful waters;

3 he keeps me alive. He guides me in proper paths for the sake of his good name.

4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger because you are with me. Your rod and your staff— they protect me.

5 You set a table for me right in front of my enemies. You bathe my head in oil; my cup is so full it spills over!

6 Yes, goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the LORD's house as long as I live.

1 The earth is the LORD's and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants too.

2 Because God is the one who established it on the seas; God set it firmly on the waters.

3 Who can ascend the LORD's mountain? Who can stand in his holy sanctuary?

4 Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart; the one who hasn't made false promises, the one who hasn't sworn dishonestly.

5 That kind of person receives blessings from the LORD and righteousness from the God who saves.

6 And that's how things are with the generation that seeks him— that seeks the face of Jacob's God. Selah

7 Mighty gates: lift up your heads! Ancient doors: rise up high! So the glorious king can enter!

8 Who is this glorious king? The LORD—strong and powerful! The LORD—powerful in battle!

9 Mighty gates: lift up your heads! Ancient doors: rise up high! So the glorious king can enter!

10 Who is this glorious king? The LORD of heavenly forces— he is the glorious king! Selah

1 I offer my life to you, LORD.

2 My God, I trust you. Please don't let me be put to shame! Don't let my enemies rejoice over me!

3 For that matter, don't let anyone who hopes in you be put to shame; instead, let those who are treacherous without excuse be put to shame.

4 Make your ways known to me, LORD; teach me your paths.

5 Lead me in your truth—teach it to me— because you are the God who saves me. I put my hope in you all day long.

6 LORD, remember your compassion and faithful love— they are forever!

7 But don't remember the sins of my youth or my wrongdoing. Remember me only according to your faithful love for the sake of your goodness, LORD.

8 The LORD is good and does the right thing; he teaches sinners which way they should go.

9 God guides the weak to justice, teaching them his way.

10 All the LORD's paths are loving and faithful for those who keep his covenant and laws.

11 Please, for the sake of your good name, LORD, forgive my sins, which are many!

12 Where are the ones who honor the LORD? God will teach them which path to take.

13 They will live a good life, and their descendants will possess the land.

14 The LORD counsels those who honor him; he makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes are always looking to the LORD because he will free my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, God, and have mercy on me because I'm alone and suffering.

17 My heart's troubles keep getting bigger— set me free from my distress!

18 Look at my suffering and trouble— forgive all my sins!

19 Look at how many enemies I have and how violently they hate me!

20 Please protect my life! Deliver me! Don't let me be put to shame because I take refuge in you.

21 Let integrity and virtue guard me because I hope in you.

22 Please, God, save Israel from all its troubles!
