Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!

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

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 Bokota na bikuke na Ye na kozongisa matondi, bokota na lopango na Ye na kokumisa. Bosanzola Ye, bopambola Kombo na Ye.
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 Pamba te Yawe azali malamu; bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko, mpe boyengebene na Ye, libela na libela.
because Yahweh always [does] good [things for us]. He faithfully loves us, and (is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us).
