His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

A Psalm for (A)giving thanks.

100 (B)Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
    (C)Serve the Lord with gladness!
    (D)Come into his presence with singing!

Know that (E)the Lord, he is God!
    It is he who (F)made us, and (G)we are his;[a]
    we are his (H)people, and (I)the sheep of his pasture.

(J)Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his (K)courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; (L)bless his name!

(M)For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his (N)faithfulness to all generations.

I Will Walk with Integrity

A Psalm of David.

101 I will sing of (O)steadfast love and justice;
    to you, O Lord, I will make music.
I will (P)ponder the way (Q)that is blameless.
    Oh when will you (R)come to me?
I will (S)walk with (T)integrity of heart
    within my house;
I will not set before my eyes
    anything (U)that is worthless.
I hate the work of those who (V)fall away;
    it shall not cling to me.
(W)A perverse heart shall be far from me;
    I will (X)know nothing of evil.

Whoever slanders his neighbor (Y)secretly
    I will (Z)destroy.
Whoever has a (AA)haughty look and an (AB)arrogant heart
    I will not endure.

I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
    that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in (AC)the way that is blameless
    shall minister to me.

No one who (AD)practices deceit
    shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
    shall (AE)continue before my eyes.

(AF)Morning by morning I will destroy
    all the wicked in the land,
(AG)cutting off all (AH)the evildoers
    from (AI)the city of the Lord.
