< Psalms 100 >
1 Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!
A Psalm of thanksgiving. Shout for joy to the LORD, all you lands!
2 We should worship Yahweh gladly! We should come before him singing joyful songs.
Serve the LORD with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.
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, he is God. It is he who has 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 into his gates with thanksgiving, and into 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. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.
