< Psalms 100 >
1 A Psalm of thanksgiving. Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!
A psalm of thanksgiving. Everyone on earth shout for joy to the Lord!
2 Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.
Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with joyful songs!
3 Know 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.
Know that the Lord is God! He made us, so we belong to him. We are his people, the flock he cares for.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving [and] into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:
Go in through his gate with thanks; enter his courts with praise. Thank him; praise him for who he is.
5 For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.
For the Lord is good. His trustworthy love lasts forever; his faithfulness continues for all generations.
