1 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!

2 S erve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.

Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!

3 K now that Jehovah He God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.

Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

4 E nter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name!

5 F or good Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!

For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.
