Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
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.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Its logic is as important as its volume: know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving — for the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
