the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. [1]
PSALM 98.
A Psalm.
O sing to the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen. [2]
3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing to the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and all it containeth; the world, and they that dwell in it. [3]
8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
PSALM 99.
The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he setteth between the cherubim; let the earth be moved. [4]
2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all people.
3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
4 The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. [5]
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
8 Thou didst answer them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance on their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
PSALM 100.
A Psalm of praise.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all ye lands. [6] [7]
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. [8]
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. [9]
PSALM 101.
A Psalm of David.
I will sing of mercy and judgment: to thee, O LORD, will I sing.
2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come to me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
3 I will set no wicked thing before my eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. [10]
4 A perverse heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person .
5 Whoever secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart I will not endure.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. [11]
7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. [12]
8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all who practise wickedness from the city of the LORD.
PSALM 102.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come to thee. [13]
2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thy ear to me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. [14]
4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. [15]
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
