¹A Psalm of Confession. ²Shout joyfully to God, all the earth. Serve the Lord with rejoicing. Enter into his sight in exultation. ³Know that the Lord himself is God. He made us, and we ourselves did not. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture. ⁴Enter his gates with confession, his courts with hymns, and acknowledge him. Praise his name. ⁵For the Lord is sweet, his mercy is in eternity, and his truth is from generation to generation.

²³The sacrifice of praise will honor me. And in that place is the journey by which I will reveal to him the salvation of God.

³we acknowledge this, always and everywhere, with acts of thanksgiving for everything.
