Psalm 24

Psalm

A psalm written by David

24 Yahweh, you care for me like a shepherd cares for his sheep,

so I have everything that I need.

2 You enable me to rest in peace

as when a shepherd leads his sheep to places where there is plenty of green grass for them to eat,

as when he lets them lie down beside streams where the water is flowing slowly.

3 You renew my strength.

You show me how to live in the right way,

in order that I can honor you.

4 Even when I am walking in very dangerous places

where I might die,

I will not be afraid of anything

because you are with me.

You protect me like a shepherd protects his sheep.

5 You prepare a great feast for me

in a place where my enemies can see me.

You welcome me

as a guest whom you honor.

You have given me very many blessings!

6 I am certain that you will be good to me

and act mercifully toward me

as long as I live;

then, O Yahweh, I will live in your home forever.

Psalm

A psalm written by David

24 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh;

all the people in the world belong to him, too;

2 he built the land on the water,

above the water that is deep below.

3 Who will be allowed to go up onto Mount Zion in Jerusalem,

in order to stand and worship in Yahweh’s holy temple?

4 Only those whose actions and thoughts are pure,

who have not worshiped idols,

and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised to tell the truth.

5 Yahweh will bless them.

When God judges them, he will rescue them and say that they have done nothing wrong.

6 They are the people who come to God,

they are the ones who desire to worship God,

and serve the God of Jacob.

7 Open up the temple gates

in order that our glorious king may enter!

8 Do you know who the glorious king is?

It is Yahweh, the one who is very strong;

It is Yahweh, who conquers all his enemies in battles!

9 Open up the temple gates

in order that our glorious king may enter!

10 Do you know who the glorious king is?

It is Yahweh, commander of the angel armies;

he is our glorious king!
