Psalm 100
All Lands Summoned to Praise God
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.(A)
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;[a]
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.(B)
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him; bless his name.(C)
5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever
and his faithfulness to all generations.(D)
23 I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them; he shall feed them and be their shepherd.(A) 24 And I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them; I the Lord have spoken.(B)
25 I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild animals from the land, so that they may live in the wild and sleep in the woods securely.(C) 26 I will make them and the region around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.(D) 27 The trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase. They shall be secure on their soil, and they shall know that I am the Lord when I break the bars of their yoke and save them from the hands of those who enslaved them.(E) 28 They shall no more be plunder for the nations, nor shall the animals of the land devour them; they shall live in safety, and no one shall make them afraid.(F) 29 I will provide for them a splendid vegetation so that they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land and no longer suffer the insults of the nations.(G) 30 They shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord God. 31 You are my sheep, the sheep of my pasture,[a] and I am your God, says the Lord God.(H)
Benediction
20 Now may the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,(A) 21 make you complete in everything good[a] so that you may do his will, as he works among us[b] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever.[c] Amen.(B)
