Praise the Lord

O praise the LORD, all you nations!

Praise Him, all you people!

For His lovingkindness prevails over us [and we triumph and overcome through Him],

And the truth of the LORD endures forever.

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) (Psalm 117) Ascribe to the LORD, O sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;

Worship the LORD in the beauty and majesty of His holiness [as the creator and source of holiness]. (Psalm 29:1-3) Through Him, therefore, let us at all times offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, which is the fruit of lips that thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify His name. Do not neglect to do good, to contribute [to the needy of the church as an expression of fellowship], for such sacrifices are always pleasing to God. (Psalm 13:15-16) Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.

Serve the LORD with gladness and delight;

Come before His presence with joyful singing.

Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the LORD Himself is God;

It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His].

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving

And His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name.

For the LORD is good;

His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,

His faithfulness [endures] to all generations. (Psalm 100)
