1 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Serve the Lord with gladness and delight;

Come before His presence with joyful singing.

3 Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, *not we ourselves [and we are His].

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. [Eph 2:10]

4 Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving

And His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.

5 For the Lord is good;

His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,

His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.
