Psa 100:1-5 <A Psalm of praise.> Make a joyful noise unto YHWH, all ye lands. (2) Serve YHWH with gladness: come before his presence with singing. (3) Know ye that YHWH he is Elohim: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. (5) For YHWH is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psa 92:1-15 <A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.> It is a good thing to give thanks unto YHWH, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: (2) To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, (3) Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. (4) For thou, YHWH, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. (5) O YHWH, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. (6) A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. (7) When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: (8) But thou, YHWH, art most high for evermore. (9) For, lo, thine enemies, O YHWH, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. (10) But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. (11) Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. (12) The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. (13) Those that be planted in the house of YHWH shall flourish in the courts of our Elohim. (14) They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; (15) To shew that YHWH is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
