Words for Meditation

Psalm 100 Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth!

2  Serve the Lord with celebration!

    Come before him with shouts of joy!

3 Know that the Lord is God—

    he made us; we belong to him.[a]

    We are his people,

    the sheep of his own pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanks;

    enter his courtyards with praise!

    Thank him! Bless his name!

5 Because the Lord is good,

    his loyal love lasts forever;

    his faithfulness lasts generation after generation.
