Psalm 24

Domini est terra
1
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, *
the compass of the world and those who dwell therein.
2
For he has founded it upon the seas *
and established it upon the rivers of the deep.
3
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? *
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
4
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, *
and who has not set his mind upon vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbor.
5
He shall receive blessing from the Lord *
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6
This is the generation of those who seek him, *
even of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
7
Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; *
and the King of glory shall come in.
8
“Who is the King of glory?” *
“It is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord, mighty in battle.”
9
Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; *
and the King of glory shall come in.
10
“Who is the King of glory?” *
“The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.”

Psalm 26

Judica me, Domine
1
Be my judge, O Lord, for I have walked innocently; *
my trust has been in the Lord; therefore I shall not fall.
2
Test me, O Lord, and prove me; *
examine my heart and my mind.
3
For your loving-kindness is ever before my eyes, *
and I will walk in your truth.
4
I have not dwelt with evildoers, *
neither will I have fellowship with the deceitful.
5
I have hated the company of the wicked, *
and will not sit among the ungodly.
6
I will wash my hands in innocence, O Lord, *
and so will I go to your altar,
7
That I may lift up the voice of thanksgiving *
and tell of all your wondrous works.
8
Lord, I have loved the habitation of your house *
and the place where your honor dwells.
9
O take not away my soul with the sinners, *
nor my life with the bloodthirsty,
10
Whose hands are full of wickedness, *
and their right hand full of bribes.
11
But as for me, I will walk innocently; *
O deliver me, and be merciful unto me.
12
My foot stands firm; *
I will praise the Lord in the congregations.
