99 Adonai is king; let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned on the k’ruvim; let the earth shake!
Adonai is great in Tziyon;
he is high above all the peoples.

Let them praise your great and fearsome name (he is holy):
“Mighty king who loves justice, you established
fairness, justice and righteousness in Ya‘akov.”

Exalt Adonai our God!
Prostrate yourselves at his footstool (he is holy).

Moshe and Aharon among his cohanim
and Sh’mu’el among those who call on his name
called on Adonai, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the column of cloud;
they kept his instructions and the law that he gave them.
Adonai our God, you answered them.
To them you were a forgiving God,
although you took vengeance on their wrongdoings.

Exalt Adonai our God,
bow down toward his holy mountain,
for Adonai our God is holy!

100 (0) A psalm of thanksgiving:

(1) Shout for joy to Adonai, all the earth!
Serve Adonai with gladness.
Enter his presence with joyful songs.

Be aware that Adonai is God;
it is he who made us; and we are his,
his people, the flock in his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
enter his courtyards with praise;
give thanks to him, and bless his name.
For Adonai is good, his grace continues forever,
and his faithfulness lasts through all generations.
101 (0) A psalm of David:

(1) I am singing of grace and justice;
I am singing to you, Adonai.
I will follow the path of integrity;
when will you come to me?
I will run my life with a sincere heart
inside my own house.
I will not allow before my eyes
any shameful thing.
I hate those who act crookedly;
what they do does not attract me.
Deviousness will depart from me;
I will not tolerate evil.
If someone slanders another in secret,
I will cut him off.
Haughty eyes and proud hearts
I cannot abide.

I look to the faithful of the land,
so that they can be my companions;
those who live lives of integrity
can be servants of mine.
No deceitful person can live in my house;
no liar can be my advisor.
Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
cutting off all evildoers
from the city of Adonai.

    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 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)
