(dactylic) 1 All people that dwell on the earth,
Your songs to Jehovah now raise;
O worship Jehovah with mirth,
Approach him with anthems of praise.
2 Know ye that Jehovah is God,
Our Sov,reign and Maker is he;
His people who bow to his rod,
And sheep of his pasture are we.
3 O enter his temple with praise,
His portals with thankful acclaim;
Your voices in thanksgiving raise,
And bless ye his glorious name.
4 For good is Jehovah the Lord,
His mercy to us never ends;
His faithfulness true to his word,
Through ages unending extends.
1 O All ye lands, unto the Lord
Make ye a joyful noise.
Serve God with gladness, and before
Him come with singing voice.
2 Know ye the Lord that he is God;
He for himself us made:
We are his people, and the sheep
Within his pasture fed.
3 Enter his gates and courts with thanks,
His praise in songs proclaim;
To him express your thankfulness,
And ever bless his name.
4 Because the Lord our God is good,
His mercy never ends;
And unto generations ail
His faithfulness extends.
(Yes, this is the well known William Kethe version.
We include it here for completeness.) 1 All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice.
Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell,
Come ye before him and rejoice.
2 Know that the Lord is God indeed;
Without our aid he did us make:
We are his flock, he doth us feed,
And for his sheep he doth us take.
3 O enter then his gates with joy,
Within his courts his praise proclaim;
Let thankful songs your tongues employ,
O bless and magnify his name.
4 Because the Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure;
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
