Psalms 100

1 Sing to the Lord, all the world!

2 Worship the Lord with joy; come before him with happy songs!

3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him; we are his people, we are his flock.

4 Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving; go into its courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise him.

5 The Lord is good; his love is eternal and his faithfulness lasts forever.

Psalms 101

1 My song is about loyalty and justice, and I sing it to you, O Lord.

2 My conduct will be faultless. When will you come to me? I will live a pure life in my house

3 and will never tolerate evil. I hate the actions of those who turn away from God; I will have nothing to do with them.

4 I will not be dishonest and will have no dealings with evil.

5 I will get rid of anyone who whispers evil things about someone else; I will not tolerate anyone who is proud and arrogant.

6 I will approve of those who are faithful to God and will let them live in my palace. Those who are completely honest will be allowed to serve me.

7 No liar will live in my palace; no hypocrite will remain in my presence.

8 Day after day I will destroy the wicked in our land; I will expel all who are evil from the city of the Lord.

Psalms 102

1 Listen to my prayer, O Lord, and hear my cry for help!

2 When I am in trouble, don't turn away from me! Listen to me, and answer me quickly when I call!

3 My life is disappearing like smoke; my body is burning like fire.

4 I am beaten down like dry grass; I have lost my desire for food.

5 I groan aloud; I am nothing but skin and bones.

6 I am like a wild bird in the desert, like an owl in abandoned ruins.

7 I lie awake; I am like a lonely bird on a housetop.

8 All day long my enemies insult me; those who mock me use my name in cursing.

9 Because of your anger and fury, ashes are my food, and my tears are mixed with my drink. You picked me up and threw me away.

11 My life is like the evening shadows; I am like dry grass.

12 But you, O Lord, are king forever; all generations will remember you.

13 You will rise and take pity on Zion; the time has come to have mercy on her; this is the right time.

14 Your servants love her, even though she is destroyed; they have pity on her, even though she is in ruins.

15 The nations will fear the Lord; all the kings of the earth will fear his power.

16 When the Lord rebuilds Zion, he will reveal his greatness.

17 He will hear his forsaken people and listen to their prayer.

18 Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise him.

19 The Lord looked down from his holy place on high, he looked down from heaven to earth.

20 He heard the groans of prisoners and set free those who were condemned to die.

21 And so his name will be proclaimed in Zion, and he will be praised in Jerusalem

22 when nations and kingdoms come together and worship the Lord.

23 The Lord has made me weak while I am still young; he has shortened my life.

24 O God, do not take me away now before I grow old. O Lord, you live forever;

25 long ago you created the earth, and with your own hands you made the heavens.

26 They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes. You will discard them like clothes, and they will vanish.

27 But you are always the same, and your life never ends.

28 Our children will live in safety, and under your protection their descendants will be secure.
