Psalm 23 (Preparation for Holy Communion)

^{(Psalm 24 – Hebrew Numbering)}

The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof, the world, and all that dwell therein.
He hath founded it upon the seas, and upon the rivers hath He prepared it.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord?
Or who shall stand in His holy place?
He that is innocent in hands and pure in heart, who hath not received his soul in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
Such a one shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
This is the generation of them that seek the Lord, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting gates, and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in war.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting gates, and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord of hosts, He is the King of Glory.
