A Song of Praise for the Lord’s Faithfulness to His People

A Psalm of Thanksgiving.

1 Make aa joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands! 
2 Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord, He is God;
aIt is He who has made us, and1 not we ourselves;
bWe are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 
4 aEnter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 
5 For the Lord is good;
aHis mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.

Psalms 100:2

Serve the Lord with gladness - That is, In your worship, and in all your acts of obedience. Let there be joy in this service. Let it not be with the fear of slaves; not as a matter of compulsion and force; not with reluctance, moroseness, or gloom. Let it be a cheerful, happy service; let it be freely rendered, let it be an occasion of joy to the soul. The service of God is a source of the highest joy that man knows.

Come before his presence with singing - As expressive of joy. So the birds sing; so nature rejoices; so should man - intelligent, redeemed, immortal man, be joyful.
