Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
