VBL · Chapter 100/150
1Un salmo de acción de gracias. ¡Griten de alegría al Señor, habitantes de toda la tierra!
2Alábenlo con gozo; ¡Vengan a su presencia con canciones de júbilo!
3¡Sepan que el Señor es Dios! Él nos creó, y le pertenecemos. Somos su pueblo, el rebaño por el cual se preocupa.
4Entren por sus puertas con agradecimientos; ingresen a sus atrios con alabanzas. Agradézcanle; alábenlo.
5Porque el Señor es bueno. Su gran amor dura para siempre; y su fidelidad permanecerá por todas las generaciones.
A brief and joyful psalm of gratitude, inviting all the earth to serve the Lord with gladness, acknowledging that he is the Creator and that his people are like sheep under his care, and that his mercy endures forever.
This psalm was traditionally sung by those entering the temple to offer thanksgiving sacrifices (as its Hebrew title suggests), becoming one of the best-known and most widely used hymns of praise in liturgies to this day, across many traditions. Its simple structure — an invitation to rejoice, the theological reason (God as Creator and Shepherd), and a reaffirmation of God's eternal goodness — makes it a compact summary of the entire theology of praise found in the Psalms. The application today is that simple, joyful gratitude is, in itself, a legitimate and powerful form of worship.
