Psalm 98-101
New American Standard Bible
A Call to Praise the Lord for His Righteousness.
A Psalm.
98 Sing a (A)new song to the Lord,
For He has done (B)wonderful things,
His (C)right hand and His (D)holy arm have [a]gained the victory for Him.
2 (E)The Lord has made His salvation known;
He has (F)revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has (G)remembered His graciousness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
(H)All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 (I)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
(J)Be cheerful and sing for joy and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the (K)lyre,
With the lyre and the [b](L)sound of melody.
6 With (M)trumpets and the sound of the horn
(N)Shout joyfully before (O)the King, the Lord.
7 May the (P)sea roar and [c]all it contains,
The (Q)world and those who dwell in it.
8 May the (R)rivers clap their hands,
May the (S)mountains sing together for joy
9 Before the Lord, for He is coming to (T)judge the earth;
He will judge the world with righteousness
And (U)the peoples with fairness.
Praise to the Lord for His Faithfulness to Israel.
99 (V)The Lord reigns, [d]the peoples tremble!
He (W)sits enthroned above the cherubim, [e]the earth quakes!
2 The Lord [f]is (X)great in Zion,
And He is (Y)exalted above all the peoples.
3 May they praise Your (Z)great and awesome name;
(AA)Holy is [g]He.
4 The [h]strength of the King (AB)loves [i]justice;
You have established [j](AC)order;
You have (AD)executed [k]justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 [l](AE)Exalt the Lord our God
And (AF)worship at His footstool;
(AG)Holy is He.
6 (AH)Moses and Aaron were among His (AI)priests,
And (AJ)Samuel was among those who (AK)called on His name;
They (AL)called upon the Lord and He answered them.
7 He (AM)spoke to them in the pillar of cloud;
They (AN)kept His testimonies
And the statute that He gave them.
8 Lord our God, You (AO)answered them;
You were a (AP)forgiving God to them,
And yet an (AQ)avenger of their evil deeds.
9 Exalt the Lord our God
And worship at His holy hill,
For the Lord our God is holy.
All People Exhorted to Praise God.
A Psalm for [m]Thanksgiving.
100 (AR)Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
2 (AS)Serve the Lord with jubilation;
(AT)Come before Him with rejoicing.
3 Know that (AU)the Lord [n]Himself is God;
It is He who has (AV)made us, and [o]not we ourselves;
We are (AW)His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates (AX)with [p]thanksgiving,
And His courtyards with praise.
Give thanks to Him, (AY)bless His name.
5 For (AZ)the Lord is good;
(BA)His mercy is everlasting
And His (BB)faithfulness is to all generations.
The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will (BC)sing of mercy and [q]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will (BD)carefully attend to the [r]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [s](BE)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (BF)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [t]work of those who (BG)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A (BH)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (BI)slanders his neighbor, him I will [u]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (BJ)haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [v](BK)blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who (BL)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (BM)shall not [w]maintain his position before me.
8 (BN)Every morning I will [x](BO)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (BP)eliminate from the (BQ)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
