3Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

4For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

101Misericordiam et judicium

1I will sing of mercy and justice; *
to you, O Lord, will I sing praises.

2I will strive to follow a blameless course;
oh, when will you come to me? *
I will walk with sincerity of heart within my house.

3I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; *
I hate the doers of evil deeds;
they shall not remain with me.

4A crooked heart shall be far from me; *
I will not know evil.

5Those who in secret slander their neighbors I will destroy; *
those who have a haughty look and a proud heart I cannot abide.

6My eyes are upon the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me, *
and only those who lead a blameless life shall be my servants.

7Those who act deceitfully shall not dwell in my house, *
and those who tell lies shall not continue in my sight.

8I will soon destroy all the wicked in the land, *
that I may root out all evildoers from the city of the Lord.
