Praise to the Lord for His Holiness

99 The Lord reigns;
Let the peoples tremble!
(A)He dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be [a]moved!
The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
[b]He is holy.

The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.

Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who (B)called upon His name;
They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the [c]ordinance He gave them.

You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His holy hill;
For the Lord our God is holy.

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

(C)A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

100 Make (D)a joyful shout to the Lord, [d]all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
(E)It is He who has made us, and [e]not we ourselves;
(F)We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

(G)Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
(H)His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Promised Faithfulness to the Lord

A Psalm of David.

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

I will behave wisely in a [f]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will (I)walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set nothing [g]wicked before my eyes;
(J)I hate the work of those (K)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (L)know wickedness.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(M)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [h]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not [i]continue in my presence.
(N)Early I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
That I may cut off all the evildoers (O)from the city of the Lord.
