Psalm 100

A Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to His People

aA Psalm of Thanksgiving.

1 Make ba joyful shout to the Lord, 1all you lands!

2 Serve the Lord with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

3 Know that the Lord, He is God;

cIt is He who has made us, and 2not we ourselves;

dWe are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 eEnter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

5 For the Lord is good;

fHis mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalm 101

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

1 I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will behave wisely in a 1perfect way.

Oh, when will You come to me?

I will awalk within my house with a perfect heart.

3 I will set nothing 2wicked before my eyes;

bI hate the work of those cwho fall away;

It shall not cling to me.

4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;

I will not dknow wickedness.

5 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,

Him I will destroy;

eThe one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,

Him I will not endure.

6 My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,

That they may dwell with me;

He who walks in a 3perfect way,

He shall serve me.

7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He who tells lies shall not 4continue in my presence.

8 fEarly I will destroy all the wicked of the land,

That I may cut off all the evildoers gfrom the city of the Lord.
