A Summer of Psalms

Psalm 100

A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2   Worship the Lord with gladness;
   come into his presence with singing.


3 Know that the Lord is God.
   It is he that made us, and we are his;*
   we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.


4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
   and his courts with praise.
   Give thanks to him, bless his name.


5 For the Lord is good;
   his steadfast love endures for ever,
   and his faithfulness to all generations.
