1MAKE A joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!
2Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!
3Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord 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.
4Enter 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!
5For the Lord is good; His mercy {and} loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness {and} truth endure to all generations.
