O be joyful in the LORD, | all ye lands:

* serve the LORD with gladness, and come before his | presence with a song.

2 Be ye sure 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.

3 O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his | courts with praise;

* be thankful unto him, and | speak good of his Name.

4 For the LORD is gracious, his mercy is | everlasting;

* and his truth endureth from gener- | -ation• to generation.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
