Context of Psalms 100:4

2Serve the Lord with gladness and delight; Come before His presence with joyful singing. 3Know and fully recognize with gratitude that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name. 5For the Lord is good; His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting, His faithfulness [endures] to all generations.
