Psalm 24
The King of Glory
A Davidic psalm.
1 The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the
Lord
;(a)
2 for He laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers.(b)
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the
Lord
?
Who may stand in His holy place?(c)
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,(d)
who has not set his mind[a] on what is false,(e)
and who has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the
Lord
,(f)
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.(g)
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.[b](h)
7 Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.(i)
8 Who is this King of glory?
The
Lord
, strong and mighty,
the
Lord
, mighty in battle.(j)
9 Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is He, this King of glory?
The
Lord
of Hosts,
He is the King of glory.(k)
Psalm 25
Dependence on the Lord
Davidic.
1
Lord
,[a] I turn to You.[b](a)
2 My God, I trust in You.
Do not let me be disgraced;(b)
do not let my enemies gloat over me.(c)
3 No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;(d)
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.(e)
4 Make Your ways known to me,
Lord
;
teach me Your paths.(f)
5 Guide me in Your truth and teach me,(g)
for You are the God of my salvation;(h)
I wait for You all day long.(i)
6 Remember,
Lord
, Your compassion
and Your faithful love,
for they have existed from antiquity.[c](j)
7 Do not remember the sins of my youth(k)
or my acts of rebellion;(l)
in keeping with Your faithful love, remember me
because of Your goodness,
Lord
.(m)
8 The
Lord
is good and upright;(n)
therefore He shows sinners the way.(o)
9 He leads the humble in what is right(p)
and teaches them His way.(q)
10 All the
Lord
's ways show faithful love and truth
to those who keep His covenant and decrees.(r)
11 Because of Your name, Yahweh,
forgive my sin, for it is great.(s)
12 Who is the man who fears the
Lord
?(t)
He will show him the way he should choose.(u)
13 He will live a good life,
and his descendants will inherit the land.[d](v)
14 The secret counsel of the
Lord
is for those who fear Him,
and He reveals His covenant to them.(w)
15 My eyes are always on the
Lord
,
for He will pull my feet out of the net.(x)
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am alone and afflicted.(y)
17 The distresses of my heart increase;[e](z)
bring me out of my sufferings.(aa)
18 Consider my affliction and trouble,(ab)
and take away all my sins.(ac)
19 Consider my enemies; they are numerous,(ad)
and they hate me violently.(ae)
20 Guard me and deliver me;(af)
do not let me be put to shame,
for I take refuge in You.(ag)
21 May integrity and what is right
watch over me,
for I wait for You.(ah)
22 God, redeem Israel, from all its distresses.(ai)
Psalm 26
Prayer for Vindication
Davidic.
1 Vindicate me,
Lord
,
because I have lived with integrity
and have trusted in the
Lord
without wavering.(a)
2 Test me,
Lord
, and try me;
examine my heart and mind.(b)
3 For Your faithful love is before my eyes,
and I live by Your truth.(c)
4 I do not sit with the worthless
or associate with hypocrites.
5 I hate a crowd of evildoers,
and I do not sit with the wicked.(d)
6 I wash my hands[a] in innocence(e)
and go around Your altar,
Lord
,(f)
7 raising my voice in thanksgiving(g)
and telling about Your wonderful works.(h)
8
Lord
, I love the house where You dwell,
the place where Your glory resides.(i)
9 Do not destroy me along with sinners,
or my life along with men of bloodshed(j)
10 in whose hands are evil schemes
and whose right hands are filled with bribes.(k)
11 But I live with integrity;
redeem me and be gracious to me.(l)
12 My foot stands on level ground;(m)
I will praise the
Lord
in the assemblies.(n)
John 10:22-42
Chapter 10
22 Then the Festival of Dedication[c] took place in Jerusalem, and it was winter. 23 Jesus was walking in the temple complex in Solomon's Colonnade.[d](v) 24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and asked, "How long are You going to keep us in suspense?[e] If You are the Messiah,(w) tell us plainly."[f](x)
25 "I did tell you and you don't believe," Jesus answered them. "The works(y) that I do in My Father's name testify about Me. 26 But you don't believe because you are not My sheep. [g](z) 27 My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. 28 I give them eternal life,(aa) and they will never perish(ab)—ever! No one will snatch(ac) them out of My hand. 29 My Father,(ad) who has given them to Me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand. 30 The Father and I are one." [h](ae)
Renewed Efforts to Stone Jesus
31 Again the Jews picked up rocks to stone Him.(af)
32 Jesus replied, "I have shown you many good works(ag) from the Father. Which of these works are you stoning Me for?"
33 "We aren't stoning(ah) You for a good work," the Jews answered, "but for blasphemy, because You—being a man—make Yourself God."
34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your scripture,[i] I said, you are gods ? (ai)[j] 35 If He called those whom the word(aj) of God came to ‘gods'—and the Scripture(ak) cannot be broken— 36 do you say, ‘You are blaspheming' to the One the Father set apart and sent into the world, because I said: I am the Son of God?(al) 37 If I am not doing My Father's works,(am) don't believe Me. 38 But if I am doing them and you don't believe Me, believe the works. This way you will know and understand[k] that the Father is in Me and I in the Father." (an) 39 Then they were trying again to seize Him,(ao) yet He eluded their grasp.(ap)
Many beyond the Jordan Believe in Jesus
40 So He departed again across the Jordan(aq) to the place where John(ar) had been baptizing earlier, and He remained there. 41 Many came to Him(as) and said, "John never did a sign, but everything John said about this man was true." 42 And many believed in Him there.
