Psalm 99–101

Psalm 99

¹Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble:

He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

²Jehovah is great in Zion;

And he is high above all the peoples.

³Let them praise thy great and terrible name:

Holy is he.

⁴The king’s strength also loveth justice;

Thou dost establish equity;

Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

⁵Exalt ye Jehovah our God,

And worship at his footstool:

Holy is he.

⁶Moses and Aaron among his priests,

And Samuel among them that call upon his name;

They called upon Jehovah, and he answered them.

⁷He spake unto them in the pillar of cloud:

They kept his testimonies,

And the statute that he gave them.

⁸Thou answeredst them, O Jehovah our God:

Thou wast a God that forgavest them,

Though thou tookest vengeance of their doings.

⁹Exalt ye Jehovah our God,

And worship at his holy hill;

For Jehovah our God is holy.

Psalm 100

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

¹Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands.

²Serve Jehovah with gladness:

Come before his presence with singing.

³Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:

It is he that hath made us, and we are his;

We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

⁴Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,

And into his courts with praise:

Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.

⁵For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,

And his faithfulness unto all generations.

Psalm 101

A Psalm of David.

¹I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:

Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

²I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way:

Oh when wilt thou come unto me?

I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.

³I will set no base thing before mine eyes:

I hate the work of them that turn aside;

It shall not cleave unto me.

⁴A perverse heart shall depart from me:

I will know no evil thing.

⁵Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:

Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.

⁶Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:

He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

⁷He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:

He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.

⁸Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;

To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
