Psalm 24
A Psalm by David.
[24:1] The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. [24:2] For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods. [24:3] Who may ascend to Yahweh's hill? Who may stand in his holy place? [24:4] He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully. [24:5] He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation. [24:6] This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face--even Jacob. Selah. [24:7] Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. [24:8] Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle. [24:9] Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. [24:10] Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.
Psalm 25
By David.
[25:1] To you, Yahweh, do I lift up my soul. [25:2] My God, I have trusted in you. Don't let me be shamed. Don't let my enemies triumph over me. [25:3] Yes, no one who waits for you shall be shamed. They shall be shamed who deal treacherously without cause. [25:4] Show me your ways, Yahweh. Teach me your paths. [25:5] Guide me in your truth, and teach me, For you are the God of my salvation, I wait for you all day long. [25:6] Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times. [25:7] Don't remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness' sake, Yahweh. [25:8] Good and upright is Yahweh, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. [25:9] He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way. [25:10] All the paths of Yahweh are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. [25:11] For your name's sake, Yahweh, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. [25:12] What man is he who fears Yahweh? He shall instruct him in the way that he shall choose. [25:13] His soul shall dwell at ease. His seed shall inherit the land. [25:14] The friendship of Yahweh is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant. [25:15] My eyes are ever on Yahweh, for he will pluck my feet out of the net. [25:16] Turn to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. [25:17] The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh bring me out of my distresses. [25:18] Consider my affliction and my travail. Forgive all my sins. [25:19] Consider my enemies, for they are many. They hate me with cruel hatred. [25:20] Oh keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be disappointed, for I take refuge in you. [25:21] Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you. [25:22] Redeem Israel, God, out all of his troubles.
Psalm 26
By David.
[26:1] Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering. [26:2] Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind. [26:3] For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth. [26:4] I have not sat with deceitful men, neither will I go in with hypocrites. [26:5] I hate the assembly of evil-doers, and will not sit with the wicked. [26:6] I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, Yahweh; [26:7] that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard, and tell of all your wondrous works. [26:8] Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house, the place where your glory dwells. [26:9] Don't gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men; [26:10] in whose hands is wickedness, their right hand is full of bribes. [26:11] But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me. [26:12] My foot stands in an even place. In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
