Psalms 100
The AIT Bible
A Call to Joyful Thanksgiving
1A psalm for thanksgiving. Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth!
2Serve Yahweh with gladness; come before him with joyful singing.
3Know that Yahweh, he is God; he made us, and we are his—his people and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise; give thanks to him, bless his name.
5For Yahweh is good; his loyal love endures forever, and his faithfulness to generation after generation.
