praise <strong>the</strong> Lord who dwells in Zion; tell <strong>the</strong> peoples what things he<br />
has done. 12 For when he takes vengeance for blood, he remembers<br />
<strong>the</strong>m, and forgets not <strong>the</strong> cry of <strong>the</strong> poor. 13 Have mercy upon me, O<br />
Lord; consider <strong>the</strong> trouble I suffer from those who hate me, O you<br />
who lift me up from <strong>the</strong> gates of death, 14 That I may tell of all your<br />
praises <strong>with</strong>in <strong>the</strong> gates of <strong>the</strong> daughter of Zion; I will rejoice in your<br />
salvation. 15 The nations have sunk down in <strong>the</strong> pit that <strong>the</strong>y made; in<br />
<strong>the</strong> same net which <strong>the</strong>y hid secretly is <strong>the</strong>ir foot caught. 16 The Lord<br />
is known to execute judgment; <strong>the</strong> ungodly are trapped in <strong>the</strong> works<br />
of <strong>the</strong>ir own hands. 17 The wicked shall return to <strong>the</strong> grave, even all<br />
<strong>the</strong> peoples that forget God. 18 For <strong>the</strong> poor shall not always be<br />
forgotten; <strong>the</strong> patient hope of <strong>the</strong> meek shall not perish for ever.<br />
19<br />
Rise up, O Lord, and let <strong>the</strong>m not have <strong>the</strong> upper hand; let <strong>the</strong><br />
nations be judged in your sight. 20 Put <strong>the</strong>m in fear, O Lord, that <strong>the</strong><br />
nations may know <strong>the</strong>mselves to be merely human.<br />

PSALM 24 ~ 1 The earth is <strong>the</strong> Lord’s and all that is in it, <strong>the</strong> compass<br />
of <strong>the</strong> world and those who dwell <strong>the</strong>rein. ² For he has founded it<br />
upon <strong>the</strong> seas and established it upon <strong>the</strong> rivers of <strong>the</strong> deep. ³ Who<br />
shall ascend <strong>the</strong> hill of <strong>the</strong> Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place?<br />
4<br />
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, and who has not set his<br />
mind upon vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbor. 5 He shall<br />
receive blessing from <strong>the</strong> Lord and righteousness from <strong>the</strong> God of his<br />
salvation. 6 This is <strong>the</strong> generation of those who seek him, even of<br />
those who seek your face, O God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O you<br />
gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and <strong>the</strong> King of glory<br />
shall come in. 8 “Who is <strong>the</strong> King of glory?” “It is <strong>the</strong> Lord, strong and<br />
mighty, even <strong>the</strong> Lord, mighty in battle.” 9 Lift up your heads, O you<br />
gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and <strong>the</strong> King of glory<br />
shall come in. 10 “Who is <strong>the</strong> King of glory?” “The Lord of hosts, he is<br />
<strong>the</strong> King of glory.”<br />
