99 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of the cherubs, the earth shaketh.

Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the peoples.

They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.'

And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou -- Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His footstool, holy [is] He.

Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He doth answer them.

In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them.

O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their actions.

Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God!

100 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.

Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.

Know that Jehovah He [is] God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.

Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name.

For good [is] Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!

101 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O Jehovah, I sing praise.

I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the midst of my house.

I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me.

A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know not.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.

Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me.

He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes.

At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity!

Psalm 99

The Lord reigns,(A)
    let the nations tremble;(B)
he sits enthroned(C) between the cherubim,(D)
    let the earth shake.
Great is the Lord(E) in Zion;(F)
    he is exalted(G) over all the nations.
Let them praise(H) your great and awesome name(I)
    he is holy.(J)

The King(K) is mighty, he loves justice(L)
    you have established equity;(M)
in Jacob you have done
    what is just and right.(N)
Exalt(O) the Lord our God
    and worship at his footstool;
    he is holy.

Moses(P) and Aaron(Q) were among his priests,
    Samuel(R) was among those who called on his name;
they called on the Lord
    and he answered(S) them.
He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud;(T)
    they kept his statutes and the decrees he gave them.

Lord our God,
    you answered them;
you were to Israel a forgiving God,(U)
    though you punished(V) their misdeeds.[a]
Exalt the Lord our God
    and worship at his holy mountain,
    for the Lord our God is holy.

Psalm 100

Shout for joy(W) to the Lord, all the earth.
    Worship the Lord(X) with gladness;
    come before him(Y) with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.(Z)
    It is he who made us,(AA) and we are his[b];
    we are his people,(AB) the sheep of his pasture.(AC)

Enter his gates with thanksgiving(AD)
    and his courts(AE) with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.(AF)
For the Lord is good(AG) and his love endures forever;(AH)
    his faithfulness(AI) continues through all generations.

Psalm 101

Of David. A psalm.

I will sing of your love(AJ) and justice;
    to you, Lord, I will sing praise.
I will be careful to lead a blameless life(AK)
    when will you come to me?

I will conduct the affairs(AL) of my house
    with a blameless heart.
I will not look with approval
    on anything that is vile.(AM)

I hate what faithless people do;(AN)
    I will have no part in it.
The perverse of heart(AO) shall be far from me;
    I will have nothing to do with what is evil.

Whoever slanders their neighbor(AP) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes(AQ) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
the one whose walk is blameless(AR)
    will minister to me.

No one who practices deceit
    will dwell in my house;
no one who speaks falsely
    will stand in my presence.

Every morning(AS) I will put to silence
    all the wicked(AT) in the land;
I will cut off every evildoer(AU)
    from the city of the Lord.(AV)
