Psalm of David. [On the first day of the week].

1 The earth is the Lord's, and whatsoever filleth it, the world, and all that dwelleth therein,

2 for he founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord, or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He whose hands are blameless, and whose heart is pure, who has not sworn by his soul in vain, and has not worshipped falsely,

5 he shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, those who seek Thy face, O God of Jacob!

7 Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall enter!

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

9 Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall enter!

10 Who is this King of glory? "The Lord of hosts, He is the king of glory.

Psalm 24

Psalm of David.

1 To thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

2 My God! In Thee I trust, that I may not be ashamed, that my enemies may not triumph over me;

3 And let not all those who trust in thee be ashamed: let them that do wicked in vain be ashamed.

4 Show me, O Lord, thy ways, and teach me thy ways.

5 Direct me to thy truth, and teach me, for thou art the God of my salvation; in Thee I trust every day.

6 Remember thy mercies, O Lord, and thy mercies, for they are from everlasting.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; Remember me for Thy mercy, O Lord, for Thy goodness' sake!

8 Good and righteous is the Lord, therefore he guideth sinners in the way,
