100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.

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

Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

100 1 He exhorteth all to serve the Lord, 3 who hath chosen us, and preserved us, 4 and to enter into his assemblies to praise his Name.

A Psalm of praise.

Sing [a]ye loud unto the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyfulness.

Know ye that even the Lord is God; he hath [b]made us, and not we ourselves: we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

[c]Enter into his gates with praise, and into his courts with rejoicing: praise him and bless his Name.

For the Lord is good: his mercy is [d]everlasting, and his truth is from generation to generation.
