Psalm 24

¹¹The heavens are Yours, and also the earth. The earth and its fullness You founded.

²⁶for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof.”

¹¹Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

¹¹Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.

¹⁴Behold, to the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, and the earth and everything in it.

²⁹Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the Lord. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.

²²Do you not fear Me?” declares the Lord. “Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot cross it.

⁶He spread out the earth upon the waters. His loving devotion endures forever.

⁹And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered into one place, so that the dry land may appear.” And it was so.

¹⁰God called the dry land “earth,” and the gathering of waters He called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

⁵He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

⁶You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

⁴Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all the stars by the breath of His mouth.

¹A Psalm of David. O Lord, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy mountain?

²⁸Therefore, since we are receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us be filled with gratitude, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

⁶“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

⁴Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

¹“Behold, I will send My messenger, who will prepare the way before Me. Then the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to His temple—the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight—see, He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.

¹⁸You have ascended on high; You have led captives away. You have received gifts from men, even from the rebellious, that the Lord God may dwell there.

⁸Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

¹⁰Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

⁸Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

⁹Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

¹Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

¹A Psalm of Asaph. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

⁹and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

⁴But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared,

⁵He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

⁹Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

¹³I am bringing My righteousness near; it is not far away, and My salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion and adorn Israel with My splendor.

²Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. For the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He also has become my salvation.”

⁸My heart said, “Seek His face.” Your face, O Lord, I will seek.

⁴Seek out the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.

⁴⁷When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, He said of him, “Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”

¹⁶Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.

³⁰Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.

¹⁵If I had said, “I will speak this way,” then I would have betrayed Your children.

²Open the gates so a righteous nation may enter—one that remains faithful.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the Lord.

²⁰This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it.

¹¹“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; by Your will they exist and were created.”

⁶The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.

⁸None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

⁸This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”

⁹What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?

³The Lord is a warrior, the Lord is His name.

¹¹Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

¹²He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows.

²So I looked and saw a white horse, and its rider held a bow. And he was given a crown, and he rode out to overcome and conquer.

³Strap your sword at your side, O mighty warrior; appear in your majesty and splendor.

⁴In your splendor ride forth in victory on behalf of truth and humility and justice; may your right hand show your awesome deeds.

¹The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

¹Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah with crimson-stained garments? Who is this robed in splendor, marching in the greatness of His strength? “It is I, proclaiming vindication, mighty to save.”

²Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads the winepress?

¹³as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

³⁴Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

⁵For your husband is your Maker—the Lord of Hosts is His name—the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.

⁹Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

⁸For this is what the Lord of Hosts says: “After His Glory has sent Me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye—

⁹I will surely wave My hand over them, so that they will become plunder for their own servants. Then you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me.”

²⁶If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.
