< Psalms 100 >
1 Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!
A Psalm of thanksgiving. Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.
2 We should worship Yahweh gladly! We should come before him singing joyful songs.
Serve the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with joyful songs.
3 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.
Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
4 Enter the gates [of his temple] thanking him; enter the courtyard [of the temple] singing songs to praise him! Thank him and praise him,
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.
5 because Yahweh always [does] good [things for us]. He faithfully loves us, and (is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us).
For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.
