Because of thy judgments, O Jehovah ;

9 For thou, O Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth;

10

Thou art exceedingly exalted above all gods.

Ye that love Jehovah, hate evil :

He keepeth the souls of his godly ones,

He delivereth them out of the hand of the

wicked.

11 Light is sown for the righteous one,
And gladness for the upright in heart.

12 Be glad in Jehovah, ye righteous,
And give thanks unto his holy name."

A Psalm for Thanksgiving.

MAKE a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all the

earth;

2 Serve Jehovah with gladness;

Come before him with singing.

3 Know ye 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. 4 Come into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise,

Give thanks unto him, and bless his name; 5 For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness endureth for ever,

And his faithfulness unto all generations.

PSALM CI.

A Psalm by David.

OF loving-kindness and of judgment will I sing unto thee, O Jehovah, will I sing praises.

2 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me?

I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.

3 I will set no wickedness before mine eyes : I hate the work of those that turn aside; it

shall not cleave to me.

4 A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know an evil person.

5 Whoso in secret slandereth his neighbour, him will I destroy.

Whoso hath haughty eyes and a proud heart, him will I not suffer.

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

He that walketh in a perfect way, he shall minister unto me.

7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within

my house;

He that speaketh falsehoods shall not be

established before mine eyes.
