<< PSALM C. >>
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1. Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands.
2. Serve Jehovah with gladness:
Come before his presence with singing.
3. Know ye that Jehovah, he is God:
It is he that hath made us, and we are his;
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise:
Give thanks unto him, and bless his name.
5. For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth for
ever,
And his faithfulness unto all generations.
