Psalm 24

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

 ¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
       the world, and all who live in it;

 ² for he founded it upon the seas
       and established it upon the waters.

 ³ Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?
       Who may stand in his holy place?

 ⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
       who does not lift up his soul to an idol
       or swear by what is false. 

 ⁵ He will receive blessing from the LORD
       and vindication from God his Savior.

 ⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him,
       who seek your face, O God of Jacob. ^[b]
       Selah

 ⁷ Lift up your heads, O you gates;
       be lifted up, you ancient doors,
       that the King of glory may come in.

 ⁸ Who is this King of glory?
       The LORD strong and mighty,
       the LORD mighty in battle.

 ⁹ Lift up your heads, O you gates;
       lift them up, you ancient doors,
       that the King of glory may come in.

 ¹⁰ Who is he, this King of glory?
       The LORD Almighty—
       he is the King of glory.
       Selah

I’m in the middle of the Psalms in my Bible in 90 Days challenge, and this is one of the Psalms that resonated with me as I read it this time.  It has been a while since we’ve worked on memorizing a long passage together as a family (or at the least, the girls and I–it’s hard to keep it all together once Steady Eddie comes home from work).  I’ve decided we’re going to do this one next, especially since it appears that it will be a while before Lulu has something else to memorize in First Language Lessons.  She learned “The Caterpillar” within the first few days, and we’re still supposed to be reviewing it. 

I’m trying to come up with a good way to organize, keep track of, and review what we memorize.  I made a pretty notebook to put our Bible passages in, but I’ve never gotten around to filling it.  Does anyone out there have a good system?
