Psalms 21-25

Psalms 21

Psa 21:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The king shall joy in Thy strength, O Lord; and in Thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

Psa 21:2 Thou hast given him his heart’s desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah.

Psa 21:3 For Thou preventest him with the blessings of goodness: Thou settest a crown of pure gold on his head.

Psa 21:4 He asked life of Thee, and Thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

Psa 21:5 His glory is great in Thy salvation: honour and majesty hast Thou laid upon him.

Psa 21:6 For Thou hast made him most blessed for ever: Thou hast made him exceeding glad with Thy countenance.

Psa 21:7 For the king trusteth in the Lord, and through the mercy of the Most High he shall not be moved.

Psa 21:8 Thine hand shall find out all Thine enemies: Thy right hand shall find out those that hate Thee.

Psa 21:9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery oven in the time of Thine anger: the Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them.

Psa 21:10 Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men.

Psa 21:11 For they intended evil against Thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

Psa 21:12 Therefore shalt Thou make them turn their back, when Thou shalt make ready Thine arrows upon Thy strings against the face of them.

Psa 21:13 Be Thou exalted, Lord, in Thine own strength: so will we sing and praise Thy power.

Psalms 22

Psa 22:1 To the chief Musician upon Ai´-je-leth Sha´-har, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? why art Thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Psa 22:2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but Thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

Psa 22:3 But Thou art holy, O Thou that in habitest the praises of Israel.

Psa 22:4 Our fathers trusted in Thee: they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.

Psa 22:5 They cried unto Thee, and were delivered: they trusted in Thee, and were not confounded.

Psa 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

Psa 22:7 All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

Psa 22:8 He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver Him: let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him.

Psa 22:9 But Thou art He that took Me out of the womb: Thou didst make Me hope when I was upon My mother’s breasts.

Psa 22:10 I was cast upon Thee from the womb: Thou art My God from My mother’s belly.

Psa 22:11 Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

Psa 22:12 Many bulls have compassed Me: strong bulls of Ba´-shan have beset Me round.

Psa 22:13 They gaped upon Me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

Psa 22:14 I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.

Psa 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue cleaveth to My jaws; and Thou hast brought Me into the dust of death.

Psa 22:16 For dogs have compassed Me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed Me: they pierced My hands and My feet.

Psa 22:17 I may tell all My bones: they look and stare upon Me.

Psa 22:18 They part My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture.

Psa 22:19 But be not Thou far from Me, O Lord: O My strength, haste Thee to help Me.

Psa 22:20 Deliver My soul from the sword; My darling from the power of the dog.

Psa 22:21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth: for Thou hast heard Me from the horns of the unicorns.

Psa 22:22 I will declare Thy name unto My brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.

Psa 22:23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Psa 22:24 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.

Psa 22:25 My praise shall be of Thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.

Psa 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek Him: your heart shall live for ever.

Psa 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.

Psa 22:28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and He is the governor among the nations.

Psa 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

Psa 22:30 A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.

Psa 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.

Psalms 23

Psa 23:1 A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psa 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psa 23:3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Psa 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Psa 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Psa 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalms 24

Psa 24:1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Psa 24:2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

Psa 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in His holy place?

Psa 24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Psa 24:5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Psa 24:6 This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

Psa 24:7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

Psa 24:8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Psa 24:9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
