Psalm 24

The earth is the LORD's and all it contains,
The world, and those who dwell in it.
For He has founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the rivers.
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
And who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,
And has not sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD
This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek Thy face-even Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in!
Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O ancient doors, 
That the King of glory may come!
Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of hosts,
He is the King of glory.

~Psalm 24 (NASB 1977)

Psalm 12

Help, LORD, for the godly man ceases to be;
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
They speak falsehood to one another;
With flattering lips and with a double heart they speak.

May the LORD cut off all flattering lips,
The tongue that speaks great things;
Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the LORD;
“I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
The words of the LORD are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.

Thou, O LORD, wilt keep them;
Thou wilt preserve him from this generation forever.
The wicked strut about on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

~Psalm 12 (NASB 1977)
