1A Psalm for giving thanks. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! (Ps 50,14; Ps 66,1)2Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! (Ps 2,11; Ps 95,2)3Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his;[1] we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (1Kön 18,39; Hi 10,3; Hi 10,8; Ps 74,1; Ps 95,6; Jes 43,1; Hes 34,30)4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! (Ps 66,13; Ps 96,2; Ps 96,8)5For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. (2Chr 5,13; Esr 3,11; Ps 25,8; Ps 36,5; Ps 106,1; Ps 119,68; Jer 33,11; Nah 1,7)
