100:1Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!
100:2Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.
100:3Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
100:4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:
100:5For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness endureth for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.
101:0A Psalm of David.
101:1I will sing of loving-kindness and judgment: unto thee, Jehovah, will I sing psalms.
101:2I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. When wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
101:3I will set no thing of Belial before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
101:4A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not know evil.
101:5Whoso secretly slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy; him that hath a high look and a proud heart will I not suffer.
101:6Mine 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.
101:7He that practiseth deceit shall not dwell within my house; he that speaketh falsehoods shall not subsist in my sight.
101:8Every morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land: to cut off all workers of iniquity from the city of Jehovah.
102:0A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.
102:1Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
102:2Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
102:3For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
102:4My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.
102:5By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.
102:6I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;
102:7I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
102:8Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.
102:9For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
102:10Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
102:11My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.
102:12But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.
102:13*Thou* wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.
102:14For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
102:15And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
102:16When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
102:17He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
102:18This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:
102:19For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,
102:20To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;
102:21That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
102:22When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
102:23He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
102:24I said, My *God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ... Thy years are from generation to generation.
102:25Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
102:26*They* shall perish, but *thou* continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
102:27But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.
102:28The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.
