Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come
into his presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we
are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with
thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. For
the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all
generations.
Colossians 3: 16-17
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all
wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to
God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
