Psalms 100

1 A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.

Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!

2 Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with exultation.

We should worship Yahweh gladly! We should come before him singing joyful songs.

3 Know that the Lord he is God; he made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

We should acknowledge/recognize that Yahweh is God; it is he who made us, [so] we belong to him. We are the people that he takes care of [MET]; we are [like] sheep that are cared for by their shepherd.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with hymns; give thanks to him, praise his name.

Enter the gates [of his temple] thanking him; enter the courtyard [of the temple] singing songs to praise him! Thank him and praise him,

5 For the Lord is good, his mercy is for ever; and his truth [endures] to generation and generation.

because Yahweh always [does] good [things for us]. He faithfully loves us, and (is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us).
