Psalm 99

The King Is Holy

The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
He is enthroned between the cherubim.(A)
Let the earth quake.(B)
The Lord is great in Zion;
he is exalted above all the peoples.(C)
Let them praise your great
and awe-inspiring name.(D)
He is holy.(E)

The mighty King loves justice.
You have established fairness;
you have administered justice
and righteousness in Jacob.(F)
Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at his footstool.(G)
He is holy.(H)

Moses and Aaron were among his priests;(I)
Samuel also was among those calling on his name.
They called to the Lord and he answered them.(J)
He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud;(K)
they kept his decrees and the statutes he gave them.
Lord our God, you answered them.
You were a forgiving God to them,(L)
but an avenger of their sinful actions.(M)

Exalt the Lord our God;
bow in worship at his holy mountain,
for the Lord our God is holy.(N)

Psalm 100

Be Thankful

A psalm of thanksgiving.

Let the whole earth shout triumphantly to the Lord!(O)
Serve the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.(P)
Acknowledge that the Lord is God.
He made us, and we are his[a](Q)
his people, the sheep of his pasture.(R)
Enter his gates with thanksgiving(S)
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him and bless his name.(T)
For the Lord is good, and his faithful love endures forever;
his faithfulness, through all generations.

Psalm 101

A Vow of Integrity

A psalm of David.

I will sing of faithful love and justice;
I will sing praise to you, Lord.(U)
I will pay attention to the way of integrity.
When will you come to me?
I will live with a heart of integrity in my house.(V)
I will not let anything worthless guide me.[b]
I hate the practice of transgression;
it will not cling to me.(W)
A devious heart will be far from me;
I will not be involved with[c] evil.(X)

I will destroy anyone
who secretly slanders his neighbor;(Y)
I cannot tolerate anyone
with haughty eyes or an arrogant heart.(Z)
My eyes favor the faithful of the land
so that they may sit down with me.
The one who follows the way of integrity
may serve me.(AA)
No one who acts deceitfully
will live in my palace;
the one who tells lies
will not be retained here to guide me.[d](AB)
Every morning I will destroy
all the wicked of the land,
wiping out all evildoers from the Lord’s city.(AC)
