< Psalms 100 >
1 “A psalm of thanksgiving.” Shout joyfully unto the Lord, all ye lands.
Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!
2 Serve the Lord with joy; come before his presence with triumphal song.
We should worship Yahweh gladly! We should come before him singing joyful songs.
3 Know, that the Lord is God indeed: it is he that hath made us, and his are we—his people and the flock 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 his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise: give thanks unto him, bless 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; to eternity endureth his kindness; and unto the latest generation his truth.
because Yahweh always [does] good [things for us]. He faithfully loves us, and (is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us).
