Psalms 100

1 Shout happily to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Serve the LORD cheerfully. Come into his presence with a joyful song.

3 Realize that the LORD alone is God. He made us, and we are his. We are his people and the sheep in his care.

4 Enter his gates with a song of thanksgiving. Come into his courtyards with a song of praise. Give thanks to him; praise his name.

5 The LORD is good. His mercy endures forever. His faithfulness endures throughout every generation.

Psalms 101

1 I will sing about mercy and justice. O LORD, I will make music to praise you.

2 I want to understand the path to integrity. When will you come to me? I will live in my own home with integrity.

3 I will not put anything wicked in front of my eyes. I hate what unfaithful people do. I want no part of it.

4 I will keep far away from devious minds. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone with a conceited look or arrogant heart.

6 My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land so that they may live with me. The person who lives with integrity will serve me.

7 The one who does deceitful things will not stay in my home. The one who tells lies will not remain in my presence.

8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land to rid the LORD's city of all troublemakers.

Psalms 102

1 O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry for help come to you.

2 Do not hide your face from me when I am in trouble. Turn your ear toward me. Answer me quickly when I call.

3 My days disappear like smoke. My bones burn like hot coals.

4 My heart is beaten down and withered like grass because I have forgotten about eating.

5 I am nothing but skin and bones because of my loud groans.

6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl living in the ruins.

7 I lie awake. I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop.

8 All day long my enemies insult me. Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse.

9 I eat ashes like bread and my tears are mixed with my drink

10 because of your hostility and anger, because you have picked me up and thrown me away.

11 My days are like a shadow that is getting longer, and I wither away like grass.

12 But you, O LORD, remain forever. You are remembered throughout every generation.

13 You will rise and have compassion on Zion, because it is time to grant a favor to it. Indeed, the appointed time has come.

14 Your servants value Zion's stones, and they pity its rubble.

15 The nations will fear the LORD's name. All the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

16 When the LORD builds Zion, he will appear in his glory.

17 He will turn his attention to the prayers of those who have been abandoned. He will not despise their prayers.

18 This will be written down for a future generation so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:

19 "The LORD looked down from his holy place high above. From heaven he looked at the earth.

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

21 The LORD's name is announced in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem

22 when nations and kingdoms gather to worship the LORD."

23 He has weakened my strength along the way. He has reduced [the number of] my days.

24 I said, "My God, don't take me now in the middle of my life. Your years [continue on] throughout every generation.

25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth. Even the heavens are the works of your hands.

26 They will come to an end, but you will still go on. They will all wear out like clothing. You will change them like clothes, and they will be thrown away.

27 But you remain the same, and your life will never end.

28 The children of your servants will go on living [here]. Their descendants will be secure in your presence."
