5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth | over. 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. PSALM XXIV. 1 THE earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that | dwell · there--in. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and es--tablished it up- | -on the floods. 1 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his | ho- · -ly | place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn | de- |-ceitfully. 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of | his sal- | -vation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy | face, O | Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? the LORD strong and mighty, the LORD | mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory | shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? the LORD of hosts, he is the | King of glory. PSALM XXV. 1 UNTO thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine | ene-· -mies | tri- · umph over me. 3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which trans- | -gress with--out cause. 4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; | teach · me | thy-paths. 5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy loving-kindnesses; for they have been ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' | sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach | sin -ners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his | cove- · -nant and his testimonies. 11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12 What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the he shall choose. way that | 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall in--herit the earth. 14 The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will | shew them | his - | covenant. 15 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in | thee. 16 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for 1-wait on thee. PSALM XXVI. 1 JUDGE me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. 2 Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. | · | 3 For thy loving-kindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth. | - | 4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dis--semblers. 5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked. 6 I will wash my hands in innocency: so will I compass thine | altar, · O | LORD: 7 That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy won-drous works. 8 LORD, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where | thine —| hon- · -our | dwelleth. 9 Gather not my soul with sinners, nor my life with blood- -y | men: 10 In whose hands is mischief, and their | right hand is full of bribes. 11 But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity redeem me, and be merciful | un--to | me. 12 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD. PSALM XXVII. 1 THE LORD is my light and my salvation; | whom shall I fear? 2 The LORD is the strength of my life; of | whom shall I | be a- | -fraid? 3 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to consume me, they stumbled and fell. 4 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be | confident. 5 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the | days of my | life: 6 To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to in- | -quire· in | his temple. 7 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in | his pa- | -vilion: 8 In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up up- |-on • a | rock. |-bout me: 9 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round a10 Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy: I will sing, yea, I will sing | praises unto the LORD. 11 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and | an -swer me. 12 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy | face, · LORD, | will. I seek. 13 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant a--way in anger: 14 Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my sal--vation. 15 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 16 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, be- |-cause of mine | enemies. |
