Psalm 100

1  (A Psalm of praise.) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2  Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3  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.

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

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