Let us come to him and give him thanks. Let us praise him with music and song.
Worship the Lord with gladness. Come to him with songs of joy.
Give thanks as you enter the gates of his temple. Give praise as you enter its courtyards. Give thanks to him and praise his name.
Sing to him, sing praise to him. Tell about all the wonderful things he has done.
Lord, rise up. Oppose them and bring them down. With your sword, save me from those evil people.
Let all the people of the earth gather around you. Rule over them from your throne in heaven.
Let the music begin. Play the tambourines. Play sweet music on harps and lyres.
Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Burst into joyful songs and make music.
The people of Israel say, “What should we bring with us when we go to worship the Lord? What should we offer the God of heaven when we bow down to him? Should we take burnt offerings to him? Should we sacrifice calves that are a year old?
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.
Is anyone among you in trouble? Then that person should pray. Is anyone among you happy? Then that person should sing songs of praise.
