Psalms 99

1A psalm of praise. 2Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve ye the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy. 3Know ye that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. 4Go ye into his gates with praise, into his courts with hymns: and give glory to him. Praise ye his name: 5For the Lord is sweet, his mercy endureth for ever, and his truth to generation and generation.
