Psalm 100 The Message (MSG) A Thanksgiving Psalm 1-2 On your feet now—applaud God!     Bring a gift of laughter,     sing yourselves into his presence. 3 Know this: God is God, and God, God.     He made us; we didn’t make him.     We’re his people, his well-tended sheep. 4 Enter with the password: “Thank you!”     Make yourselves at home, talking praise.     Thank him.
