Psalm 99
Ψαλμοί
Psalm 100 in the Hebrew numbering, which most Western Bibles follow.
1 Ψαλμὸς εἰς ἐξομολόγησιν. ΑΛΑΛΑΞΑΤΕ τῷ Κυρίῳ, πᾶσα ἡ γῆ,
(100) A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2 δουλεύσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, εἰσέλθετε ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγαλλιάσει.
Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with exultation.
3 γνῶτε ὅτι Κύριος, αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ οὐχ ἡμεῖς· ἡμεῖς δὲ λαὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ πρόβατα τῆς νομῆς αὐτοῦ.
Know that the Lord he is God; he made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 εἰσέλθετε εἰς τὰς πύλας αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐξομολογήσει, εἰς τὰς αὐλὰς αὐτοῦ ἐν ὕμνοις. ἐξομολογεῖσθε αὐτῷ, αἰνεῖτε τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ,
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with hymns; give thanks to him, praise his name.
5 ὅτι χρηστὸς Κύριος, εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἕως γενεᾶς καὶ γενεᾶς ἡ ἀλήθεια αὐτοῦ.
For the Lord is good, his mercy is for ever; and his truth [endures] to generation and generation.
