A psalm of thanksgiving

Give Thanks to the Lord

100 Shout to the Lord all the earth!
Serve the Lord with joy.
        Come before him with a joyful shout!
Acknowledge that the Lord is God.
    He made us and we belong to him;
we are his people
    and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise.
Thank him and bless his name,
for the Lord is good
        and his gracious love stands forever.
His faithfulness remains from generation to generation.

A Davidic Psalm

Remembering God’s Love

101 I will sing about gracious love and justice;
    Lord, I will sing praise to you.
I will pay attention to living a life of integrity—
    when will I attain it?
        I will live with integrity of heart in my house.
I will not even think about doing anything lawless;
    I hate to do evil deeds;
        I will have none of it.
I will not allow anyone with a perverted mind in my presence;
    I will not be involved with[a] anything evil.

I will destroy the one who secretly slanders a friend.
    I will not allow the proud and haughty to prevail.
My eyes are looking at the faithful of the land,
    so they may live with me;
        The one who lives a life of integrity will serve me.
A deceitful person will not sit in my house;
    A liar will not remain in my presence.
Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land,
    eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the Lord’s city.
