Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more. Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high.
Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.
