Worship the Lord and be happy!
    Come near to him with songs of joy.
Understand that the Lord is God.
    He made us and we are his people.
He takes care of us,
    like a shepherd with his sheep.
Thank him as you go through the gates into his temple.
    Praise him as you stand in his temple yards.[a]
Thank him and praise him
    as he deserves!

  1. 100:4 The writer tells everyone to come to the temple and to praise God. The temple building had a wall round it, with gates. Inside the wall there were big yards where people could stand. Only the priests and the Levites could go into the building itself.

    Worship the Lord(A) with gladness;
    come before him(B) with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.(C)
    It is he who made us,(D) and we are his[a];
    we are his people,(E) the sheep of his pasture.(F)

Enter his gates with thanksgiving(G)
    and his courts(H) with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.(I)
