A Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to His People

(A)A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

100 Make (B)a joyful shout to the Lord, [a]all you lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God;
(C)It is He who has made us, and [b]not we ourselves;
(D)We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

(E)Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
(F)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.

I will behave wisely in a [c]perfect way.
Oh, when will You come to me?
I will (G)walk within my house with a perfect heart.

I will set nothing [d]wicked before my eyes;
(H)I hate the work of those (I)who fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
A perverse heart shall depart from me;
I will not (J)know wickedness.

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
(K)The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

My eyes shall be on the faithful of the land,
That they may dwell with me;
He who walks in a [e]perfect way,
He shall serve me.
