1 A psalm of thanksgiving: Shout for joy to ADONAI, all the earth!
1
On your feet now - applaud God!
2 Serve ADONAI with gladness. Enter his presence with joyful songs.
2
Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence.
3 Be aware that ADONAI is God; it is he who made us; and we are his, his people, the flock in his pasture.
3
Know this: God is God, and God, God. He made us; we didn't make him. We're his people, his well-tended sheep.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, enter his courtyards with praise; give thanks to him, and bless his name.
4
Enter with the password: "Thank you!" Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him.
5 For ADONAI is good, his grace continues forever, and his faithfulness lasts through all generations.
5
For God is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever.
