Psalms 100

1A psalm for David himself. Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord: I will sing,

1 Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!

2And I will understand in the unspotted way, when thou shalt come to me. I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

2 Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.

3I will not set before my eyes any unjust thing: I hated the workers of iniquities.

3 Know that Jehovah isGod: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4The perverse heart did not cleave to me: and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving [and] into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:

5The man that in private detracted his neighbour, him did I persecute. With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, I would not eat.

5 For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.

6My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.

7He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.

8In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
