Back to Bible
1 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness and delight; Come before His presence with joyful singing.
3 Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the LORD Himself is God; It is He who has made us,[1] not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.
5 For the LORD is good; His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting, His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.
6 A Psalm of David. I will sing of [steadfast] lovingkindness and justice; To You, O LORD, I will sing praises.
7 I will behave wisely and follow the way of integrity. When will You come to me? I will walk in my house in integrity and with a blameless heart.
8 I will set no worthless or wicked thing before my eyes. I hate the practice of those who fall away [from the right path]; It will not grasp hold of me.
9 A perverse heart shall depart from me; I will not tolerate evil.
10 Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will silence; The one who has a haughty look and a proud (arrogant) heart I will not tolerate.
11 My eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve me.
12 He who practices deceit will not dwell in my house; He who tells lies and half-truths will not continue [to remain] in my presence.
13 Morning after morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, That I may cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do evil.
