Shout for Joy, All the Earth
A psalm for giving thanks.
A short liturgy for coming through the gates: enter shouting, serve gladly, know that our Father made you. Underneath the noise is a claim about ownership and belonging — we are his children and the sheep of his pasture — running through every generation.
100 1Shout for joy to our Father, all the earth! 2Serve our Father with gladness; come before him with joyful song. 3Know that our Father—he is our Father. He made us, and we are his; we are his children, the sheep of his pasture. 4Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise; give thanks to him, bless his name. 5For our Father is good; his covenant love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
