Psalm 101

A psalm of David.

1 I will sing of your love and justice, LORD.
I will praise you with songs.2 I will be careful to live a blameless life—
when will you come to help me?
I will lead a life of integrity
in my own home.3 I will refuse to look at
anything vile and vulgar.
I hate all who deal crookedly;
I will have nothing to do with them.4 I will reject perverse ideas
and stay away from every evil.5 I will not tolerate people who slander their neighbors.
I will not endure conceit and pride.6 I will search for faithful people
to be my companions.
Only those who are above reproach
will be allowed to serve me.7 I will not allow deceivers to serve in my house,
and liars will not stay in my presence.8 My daily task will be to ferret out the wicked
and free the city of the LORD from their grip.

Psalm 102

A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the LORD.

1 LORD, hear my prayer!
Listen to my plea!2 Don’t turn away from me
in my time of distress.
Bend down to listen,
and answer me quickly when I call to you.3 For my days disappear like smoke,
and my bones burn like red-hot coals.4 My heart is sick, withered like grass,
and I have lost my appetite.5 Because of my groaning,
I am reduced to skin and bones.6 I am like an owl in the desert,
like a little owl in a far-off wilderness.7 I lie awake,
lonely as a solitary bird on the roof.8 My enemies taunt me day after day.
They mock and curse me.9 I eat ashes for food.
My tears run down into my drink10 because of your anger and wrath.
For you have picked me up and thrown me out.11 My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows.
I am withering away like grass.12 But you, O LORD, will sit on your throne forever.
Your fame will endure to every generation.13 You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalemt—
and now is the time to pity her,
now is the time you promised to help.14 For your people love every stone in her walls
and cherish even the dust in her streets.15 Then the nations will tremble before the LORD.
The kings of the earth will tremble before his glory.16 For the LORD will rebuild Jerusalem.
He will appear in his glory.17 He will listen to the prayers of the destitute.
He will not reject their pleas.18 Let this be recorded for future generations,
so that a people not yet born will praise the LORD.19 Tell them the LORD looked down
from his heavenly sanctuary.
He looked down to earth from heaven20 to hear the groans of the prisoners,
to release those condemned to die.21 And so the LORD’s fame will be celebrated in Zion,
his praises in Jerusalem,22 when multitudes gather together
and kingdoms come to worship the LORD.23 He broke my strength in midlife,
cutting short my days.24 But I cried to him, “O my God, who lives forever,
don’t take my life while I am so young!25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth
and made the heavens with your hands.26 They will perish, but you remain forever;
they will wear out like old clothing.
You will change them like a garment
and discard them.27 But you are always the same;
you will live forever.28 The children of your people
will live in security.
Their children’s children
will thrive in your presence.”

Psalm 103

A psalm of David.

1 Let all that I am praise the LORD;
with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.2 Let all that I am praise the LORD;
may I never forget the good things he does for me.3 He forgives all my sins
and heals all my diseases.4 He redeems me from death
and crowns me with love and tender mercies.5 He fills my life with good things.
My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!6 The LORD gives righteousness
and justice to all who are treated unfairly.7 He revealed his character to Moses
and his deeds to the people of Israel.8 The LORD is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.9 He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.12 He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.13 The LORD is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.14 For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.15 Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.16 The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.17 But the love of the LORD remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children18 of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments!19 The LORD has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.20 Praise the LORD, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.21 Yes, praise the LORD, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!22 Praise the LORD, everything he has created,
everything in all his kingdom.
Let all that I am praise the LORD.
