Psalms 100

1 A psalm of thanksgiving. Everyone on earth shout for joy to the Lord!

Everyone in the world should shout joyfully to Yahweh!

2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with joyful songs!

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

3 Know that the Lord is God! He made us, so we belong to him. We are his people, the flock he cares for.

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 Go in through his gate with thanks; enter his courts with praise. Thank him; praise him for who he is.

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. His trustworthy love lasts forever; his faithfulness continues for all generations.

because Yahweh always [does] good [things for us]. He faithfully loves us, and (is faithful/is loyal to us forever/will never forsake us).
