And He is bexalted above all the peoples.

3 Let them praise Your agreat and awesome name;

bHoly is 1He.

And bworship at His footstool;

6 aMoses and Aaron were among His bpriests,

And aSamuel was among those who ccalled on His name;

They dcalled upon the Lord and He answered them.

7 He aspoke to them in the pillar of cloud;

They bkept His testimonies

And the statute that He gave them.

8 O Lord our God, You aanswered them;

You were a bforgiving God to them,

And yet an cavenger of their evil deeds.

9 Exalt the Lord our God

And worship at His holy hill,

For holy is the Lord our God.

PSALM 101

The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.

A Psalm of David.

1 I will asing of lovingkindness and 1justice,

To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.

2 I will 1agive heed to the 2blameless way.

When will You come to me?

I will walk within my house in the 3bintegrity of my heart.

3 I will set no aworthless thing before my eyes;

I hate the 1work of those who bfall away;

It shall not fasten its grip on me.

4 A aperverse heart shall depart from me;

I will know no evil.

5 Whoever secretly aslanders his neighbor, him I will 1destroy;

No one who has a bhaughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;

He who walks in a 1ablameless way is the one who will minister to me.

7 He who apractices deceit shall not dwell within my house;

He who speaks falsehood bshall not 1maintain his position before me.

8 aEvery morning I will 1bdestroy all the wicked of the land,

So as to ccut off from the dcity of the Lord all those who do iniquity.
