A
psalm. For giving grateful praise.
[Preliminary
Comments: As the title says, a simple psalm for giving
praise that is based on thankfulness.]
v.1
A call to call to God with joy
v.1
Shout
for joy to the Lord,
all the earth.
v.2
Let that call be worship in gladness using songs
v.2
Worship
the Lord
with
gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
v.3
Why? Because our God is our Shepherd
v.3
Know
that the Lord
is
God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
v.4
So let's go the temple full of praise and thanksgiving
v.4
Enter
his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
v.5
Why? Because He is good and loving and faithful for ever
v.5
For
the Lord
is
good and his love endures for ever;
his faithfulness continues through all
generations.
[Additional
Comments: Worship, we are reminded, is to come out of
relationship, gratefulness for what our God has done for us. Worship
may not be songs but songs can aid or express worship. The important
thing is that it comes from the heart, reflecting what we have
discovered by word and experience of our God.]
