1Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
2Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Verse explanation
Serving “with gladness” contrasts with the more common ancient notion of serving a king or a god out of duty or fear; here, service to God is described as something pleasurable, almost like going to a party.
From the Psalms 100 study in Bible in Stories.
