Psalms 23; Psalms 24; Psalms 25

1 The LORD is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.

2 He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters.

3 He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for the honor of his name.

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid. You are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff comfort me

5 You prepare a feast for me right in front of my enemies. You pour oil on my head. My cup runs over.

6 I am sure that your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life. And I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

1 The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.

2 He set it firmly on the oceans. He made it secure on the waters.

3 Who can go up to the temple on the hill of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place?

4 Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. He does not worship the statue of a god. He doesn't use the name of that god when he makes a promise.

5 People like that will receive the LORD's blessing. When God their Savior hands down his sentence, it will be in their favor.

6 The people who look to God are like that. God of Jacob, they look to you. "Selah"

7 Open wide, you gates. Open up, you age-old doors. Then the King of glory will come in.

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord, who is strong and mighty. The Lord, who is mighty in battle.

9 Open wide, you gates. Open wide, you age-old doors. Then the King of glory will come in.

10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD who rules over all. He is the King of glory. "Selah"

1 Lord, I worship you.

2 My God, I trust in you. Don't let me be put to shame. Don't let my enemies win the battle over me.

3 Those who put their hope in you will never be put to shame. But those who can't be trusted will be put to shame. They have no excuse.

4 Lord, show me your ways. Teach me how to follow you.

5 Guide me in your truth. Teach me. You are God my Savior. I put my hope in you all day long.

6 Lord, remember your great mercy and love. You have shown them to your people for a long time.

7 Don't remember the sins I committed when I was young. Don't remember how often I refused to obey you. Remember me because you love me. Lord, you are good.

8 The LORD is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways.

9 He shows those who aren't proud how to do what is right. He teaches them his ways.

10 All of the LORD's ways are loving and faithful for those who obey what his covenant commands.

11 Lord, be true to your name. Forgive my sin, even though it is great.

12 Who is the man who has respect for the Lord? God will teach him the way he has chosen for him.

13 Things will always go well for him. His children will be given the land.

14 The LORD shares his plans with those who have respect for him. He makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes always look to the Lord. He alone can set my feet free from the trap.

16 Turn to me and show me your favor. I am lonely and hurting.

17 The troubles of my heart have increased. Set me free from my great pain.

18 Look at how I'm hurting! See how much I suffer! Take away all of my sins.

19 Look at how many enemies I have! See how terrible their hatred is for me!

20 Guard my life. Save me. Don't let me be put to shame. I go to you for safety.

21 May my honest and good life keep me safe. I have put my hope in you.

22 God, set Israel free from all of their troubles!
