Psalms 100

1 Shout to the LORD with joy, everyone on earth.

2 Worship the LORD with gladness. Come to him with songs of joy.

3 I want you to realize that the LORD is God. He made us, and we belong to him. We are his people. We are the sheep belonging to his flock.

4 Give thanks as you enter the gates of his temple. Give praise as you enter its courtyards. Give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 The LORD is good. His faithful love continues forever. It will last for all time to come.

Psalms 101

1 I will sing about your love and fairness. Lord, I will sing praise to you.

2 I will be careful to lead a life that is without blame. When will you come and help me? I will lead a life that is without blame in my house.

3 I won't look at anything that is evil. I hate the acts of people who aren't faithful to you. I don't even want people like that around me.

4 I will stay away from those whose hearts are twisted. I don't want to have anything to do with evil.

5 I will get rid of anyone who tells lies about his neighbor in secret. I won't put up with anyone whose eyes and heart are proud.

6 I will look with favor on the faithful people in the land. They will live with me. Those whose lives are without blame will serve me.

7 No one who lies and cheats will live in my house. No one who tells lies will serve me.

8 Every morning I will get rid of all the sinful people in the land. I will remove from the city of the LORD everyone who does what is evil.

Psalms 102

1 Lord, hear my prayer. Listen to my cry for help.

2 Don't turn your face away from me when I'm in trouble. Pay attention to me. When I call out for help, answer me quickly.

3 My days are disappearing like smoke. My body burns like glowing coals.

4 My strength has dried up like grass. I even forget to eat my food.

5 I groan out loud because of my suffering. I'm nothing but skin and bones.

6 I'm like a desert owl. I'm like an owl among destroyed buildings.

7 I can't sleep. I've become like a bird alone on a roof.

8 All day long my enemies laugh at me. Those who make fun of me use my name as a curse.

9 I eat ashes as my food. My tears fall into what I'm drinking.

10 You were very angry with me. So you picked me up and threw me away.

11 The days of my life are like an evening shadow. I dry up like grass.

12 But Lord, you are seated on your throne forever. Your fame will continue for all time to come.

13 You will rise up and show deep concern for Zion. The time has come for you to show favor to it.

14 The stones of your destroyed city are priceless to us. Even its dust brings deep concern to us.

15 The nations will worship the Lord. All of the kings on earth will respect his glorious power.

16 The LORD will build Zion again. He will appear in his glory.

17 He will answer the prayer of those who don't have anything. He won't say no to their cry for help.

18 Let this be written down for those born after us. Then people who are not yet born can praise the Lord.

19 Here is what should be written. "The LORD looked down from his temple in heaven. From heaven he viewed the earth.

20 He heard the groans of the prisoners. He set free those who were sentenced to death."

21 So people will talk about him in Zion. They will praise him in Jerusalem.

22 Nations and kingdoms will gather there to worship the Lord.

23 When I was still young, he took away my strength. He wasn't going to let me live much longer.

24 So I said, "My God, don't let me die in the middle of my life. You will live for all time to come.

25 In the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. Your hands created the heavens.

26 They will pass away. But you will remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing. You will make them like clothes that are taken off and thrown away.

27 But you remain the same. Your years will never end.

28 Our children will live with you. Their sons and daughters will be safe in your care."
