Psalm 99-101
New King James Version
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!
2 The Lord is great in Zion,
And He is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
[b]He is holy.
4 The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.
6 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.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the [c]ordinance He gave them.
8 You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
9 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!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 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.
4 (G)Enter 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;
(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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (L)know wickedness.
5 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.
6 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.
7 He who works deceit shall not dwell within my house;
He who tells lies shall not [i]continue in my presence.
8 (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.
