81:1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 81:2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 81:3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 81:4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 81:5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 81:6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 81:7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 81:8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 81:9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 81:10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 81:11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 81:12So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 81:13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 81:14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 81:15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 81:16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
82:1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 82:2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 82:3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 82:4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 82:5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 82:6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 82:7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 82:8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
83:1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 83:2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 83:3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 83:4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 83:5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 83:6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 83:7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 83:8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 83:9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 83:10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 83:11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 83:12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 83:13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 83:14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 83:15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 83:16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 83:17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 83:18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
84:1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 84:2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 84:3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 84:4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 84:5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 84:6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 84:7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 84:8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 84:9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 84:10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 84:12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
85:1LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 85:2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 85:3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 85:4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 85:5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 85:6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 85:7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 85:8I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 85:9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 85:10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 85:11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 85:12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 85:13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
86:1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 86:2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 86:3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 86:4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 86:5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 86:6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 86:7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 86:8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 86:9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 86:10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 86:11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 86:12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 86:13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 86:14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 86:15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 86:16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 86:17Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
87:1His foundation is in the holy mountains. 87:2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 87:3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 87:4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 87:5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 87:6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 87:7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
88:1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 88:2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; 88:3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. 88:4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: 88:5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 88:6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 88:7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. 88:8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 88:9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. 88:10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. 88:11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 88:12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 88:13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 88:14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 88:16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 88:17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 88:18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
89:1I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 89:2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 89:3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 89:4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 89:5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 89:6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 89:7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 89:8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 89:9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 89:10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 89:11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 89:12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 89:13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 89:14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 89:15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 89:16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 89:17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 89:18For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 89:19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 89:20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 89:21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 89:22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 89:23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 89:24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 89:25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 89:26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 89:27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 89:28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 89:29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 89:30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 89:31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 89:32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 89:33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 89:34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 89:35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 89:36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 89:37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 89:38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 89:39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 89:40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 89:41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 89:42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 89:43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 89:44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 89:45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 89:46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 89:47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 89:48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 89:49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 89:50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 89:51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 89:52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
90:1LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 90:2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 90:3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 90:4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 90:5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 90:6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 90:7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 90:8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 90:9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 90:10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 90:11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 90:12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 90:13Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 90:14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 90:15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 90:16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 90:17And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
91:1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 91:2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 91:3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 91:4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 91:5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 91:6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 91:7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 91:8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 91:9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 91:10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 91:11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 91:12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 91:13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 91:14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 91:15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 91:16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
92:1It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 92:2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 92:3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 92:4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 92:5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 92:6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 92:7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 92:8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 92:9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 92:10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 92:11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 92:12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 92:13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 92:14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 92:15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
93:1The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 93:2Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 93:3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 93:4The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 93:5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
94:1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 94:2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 94:3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 94:4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 94:5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 94:6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 94:7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 94:8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? 94:9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? 94:10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 94:11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 94:12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; 94:13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. 94:14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 94:15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 94:16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 94:17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 94:18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 94:20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 94:22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 94:23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
95:1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 95:2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 95:3For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 95:5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 95:6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 95:7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 95:8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 95:9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 95:10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 95:11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
96:1O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 96:2Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 96:3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 96:4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 96:5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 96:6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 96:7Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 96:8Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 96:9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 96:10Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 96:11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 96:12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice 96:13Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
97:1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 97:2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 97:3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 97:4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 97:5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 97:6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 97:7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 97:8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 97:9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 97:10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 97:11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 97:12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
98:1O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 98:2The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 98:3He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 98:4Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 98:5Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 98:6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 98:7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 98:8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 98:9Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
99:1The LORD reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 99:2The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 99:3Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 99:4The king’s strength also loveth judgment; thou dost establish equity, thou executest judgment and righteousness in Jacob. 99:5Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy. 99:6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 99:7He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them. 99:8Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions. 99:9Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
100:1Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 100:2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 100:3Know 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. 100:4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 100:5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
