מִזְמוֹר לְתוֹדָה הָרִיעוּ לַיהוָה, כָּל הָאָרֶץ. עִבְדוּ אֶת יְהוָה בְּשִׂמְחָה; בֹּאוּ לְפָנָיו, בִּרְנָנָה. דְּעוּ כִּי יְהוָה, הוּא אֱלֹהִים: הוּא עָשָׂנוּ, וְלוֹ אֲנַחְנוּ עַמּוֹ, וְצֹאן מַרְעִיתוֹ. בֹּאוּ שְׁעָרָיו, בְּתוֹדָה חֲצֵרֹתָיו בִּתְהִלָּה; הוֹדוּ לוֹ, בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ. כִּי טוֹב יְהוָה, לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ; וְעַד דֹּר וָדֹר, אֱמוּנָתוֹ.
