His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
A Psalm for giving thanks.
 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
²     Serve the Lord with gladness!
    Come into his presence with singing!
³ Know that the Lord, he is God!
    It is he who made us, and we are his;^[a]
    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
⁴ Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!
⁵ For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his faithfulness to all generations.

PSALM 100, ESV; Footnotes, Psalm 100:3 Or and not we ourselves

Today in the USA it is Thanksgiving Day. The vast majority of folks in this country will spend the day sitting around feasting on turkey, stuffing, watching football, and enjoying a day off from work. Few will truly give thanks as verse one says; Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Why should all the earth give thanks today (and every day) we need look no further than verse five; For the Lord is good!
