Psalms 100
1The titil of the hundrid salm. `The salm of Dauid. Lord, Y schal synge to thee; merci and doom.
2I schal synge, and Y schal vndurstonde in a weie with out wem; whanne thou schalt come to me. I yede perfitli in the innocence of myn herte; in the myddil of myn hous.
3I settide not forth bifore myn iyen an vniust thing; Y hatide hem that maden trespassyngis.
4A schrewide herte cleuede not to me; Y knewe not a wickid man bowynge awei fro me.
5I pursuede hym; that bacbitide priueli his neiybore. With the proude iye and an herte vnable to be fillid; Y eet not with this.
6Myn iyen weren to the feithful men of erthe, that thei sitte with me; he that yede in a weie with out wem, mynystride to me.
7He that doith pride, schal not dwelle in the myddil of myn hous; he that spekith wickid thingis, seruede not in the siyt of myn iyen.
8In the morutid Y killide alle the synners of erthe; that Y schulde leese fro the citee of the Lord alle men worchynge wickidnesse.

2Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
