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!
The Lord [c]is (C)great in Zion,
And He is (D)exalted above all the peoples.
May they praise Your (E)great and awesome name;
(F)Holy is [d]He.
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.
[i](J)Exalt the Lord our God
And (K)worship at His footstool;
(L)Holy is He.

(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.
He (R)spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (S)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
Lord our God, You (T)answered them;
You were a (U)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (V)avenger of their evil deeds.
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.
(X)Serve the Lord with jubilation;
(Y)Come before Him with rejoicing.
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.

Enter His gates (AC)with [m]thanksgiving,
And His courtyards with praise.
Give thanks to Him, (AD)bless His name.
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.
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.
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.
A (AM)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
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.

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.
One who (AQ)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (AR)shall not [t]maintain his position before me.
(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.
