The most familiar psalm of all, the twenty-third, extols the blessings of having God as one's Shepherd. The benefits are incredible, culminating in living in God's presence forever.
The twenty-fourth psalm speaks to the blessing of God's presence and coming to dwell with man. The question is asked "Who may dwell in God's presence?" and is answered with the statement "the one with clean hands and a pure heart." With such a person the King of Glory is pleased to dwell.
Psalm 25 contains one of my favorite phrases and prayers: "Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
