Psalm 99-101
New American Standard Bible
Praise to the Lord for His Faithfulness to Israel.
99 (A)The Lord reigns, [a]the peoples tremble!
He (B)sits enthroned above the cherubim, [b]the earth quakes!
2 The Lord [c]is (C)great in Zion,
And He is (D)exalted above all the peoples.
3 May they praise Your (E)great and awesome name;
(F)Holy is [d]He.
4 The [e]strength of the King (G)loves [f]justice;
You have established [g](H)order;
You have (I)executed [h]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 [i](J)Exalt the Lord our God
And (K)worship at His footstool;
(L)Holy is He.
6 (M)Moses and Aaron were among His (N)priests,
And (O)Samuel was among those who (P)called on His name;
They (Q)called upon the Lord and He answered them.
7 He (R)spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 Lord our God, You (T)answered them;
You were a (U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (V)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For the Lord our God is holy.
All People Exhorted to Praise God.
A Psalm for [j]Thanksgiving.
100 (W)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 (X)Serve the Lord with jubilation;
(Y)Come before Him with rejoicing.
3 Know that (Z)the Lord [k]Himself is God;
It is He who has (AA)made us, and [l]not we ourselves;
We are (AB)His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates (AC)with [m]thanksgiving,
And His courtyards with praise.
Give thanks to Him, (AD)bless His name.
5 For (AE)the Lord is good;
(AF)His mercy is everlasting
And His (AG)faithfulness is to all generations.
The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will (AH)sing of mercy and [n]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will (AI)carefully attend to the [o]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [p](AJ)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (AK)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [q]work of those who (AL)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A (AM)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (AN)slanders his neighbor, him I will [r]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (AO)haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [s](AP)blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who (AQ)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (AR)shall not [t]maintain his position before me.
8 (AS)Every morning I will [u](AT)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (AU)eliminate from the (AV)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
