Psalm 99–101

PSALM 99

Praise to the Lord for His Fidelity to Israel.

^1aThe Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble;

He ^1bis enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!

²The Lord ¹is ^agreat in Zion,

And He is ^bexalted above all the peoples.

³Let them praise Your ^agreat and awesome name;

^bHoly is ¹He.

⁴The ¹strength of the King ^aloves ²justice;

You have established ^3bequity;

You have ^cexecuted justice and righteousness in Jacob.

^51aExalt the Lord our God

And ^bworship at His footstool;

^cHoly is He.

^6aMoses and Aaron were among His ^bpriests,

And Samuel was among those who ^ccalled on His name;

They ^dcalled upon the Lord and He answered them.

⁷He ^aspoke to them in the pillar of cloud;

They ^bkept His testimonies

And the statute that He gave them.

⁸O Lord our God, You ^aanswered them;

You were a ^bforgiving God to them,

And yet an ^cavenger of their evil deeds.

⁹Exalt the Lord our God

And worship at His holy hill,

For holy is the Lord our God.

PSALM 100

All Men Exhorted to Praise God.

A Psalm for ^†Thanksgiving.

^1aShout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

^2aServe the Lord with gladness;

^bCome before Him with joyful singing.

³Know that ^athe Lord ¹Himself is God;

It is He who has ^bmade us, and ²not we ourselves;

We are ^cHis people and the sheep of His pasture.

⁴Enter His gates ^awith ¹thanksgiving

And His courts with praise.

Give thanks to Him, ^bbless His name.

⁵For ^athe Lord is good;

^bHis lovingkindness is everlasting

And His ^cfaithfulness to all generations.

PSALM 101

The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

¹I will ^asing of lovingkindness and ¹justice,

To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

²I will ^1agive heed to the ²blameless way.

When will You come to me?

I will walk within my house in the ^3bintegrity of my heart.

³I will set no ^aworthless thing before my eyes;

I hate the ¹work of those who ^bfall away;

It shall not fasten its grip on me.

⁴A ^aperverse heart shall depart from me;

I will know no evil.

⁵Whoever secretly ^aslanders his neighbor, him I will ¹destroy;

No one who has a ^bhaughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

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

He who walks in a ^1ablameless way is the one who will minister to me.

⁷He who ^apractices deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He who speaks falsehood ^bshall not ¹maintain his position before me.

^8aEvery morning I will ^1bdestroy all the wicked of the land,

So as to ^ccut off from the ^dcity of the Lord all those who do iniquity.
