PSALMS Chapter 100
1 Make a joyful noise UNTO THE LORD, all ye lands.  
2Serve THE LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3Know YE THAT THE LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5FOR THE LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
