1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with exultation. 3 Know that the Lord he is God; he made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with hymns; give thanks to him, praise his name. 5 For the Lord is good, his mercy is for ever; and his truth endures to generation and generation.
