Psalm 100-101
American Standard Version
All men exhorted to praise God.
A Psalm [a]of thanksgiving.
100 Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, [b]all ye lands.
2 Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, [c]and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with [d]thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.
5 For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.
The psalmist’s profession of uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will sing of lovingkindness and justice:
Unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.
2 I will [e]behave myself wisely in a perfect way:
Oh when wilt thou come unto me?
I will walk within my house [f]with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no base thing before mine eyes:
I hate [g]the work of them that turn aside;
It shall not cleave unto me.
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me:
I will know no [h]evil thing.
5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I destroy:
Him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me:
He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house:
He that speaketh falsehood shall not be established before mine eyes.
8 Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land;
To cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
