Psalms 100

1¶ A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all you lands. 2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3Know you that the LORD he is God: it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful to him, and bless his name. 5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endures to all generations.
