A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1Shout for joy to YAHWEH,1 all you lands!
2Worship YAHWEH with gladness.
Come before his presence with singing.
3Know that YAHWEH himself is God.2
It is he who has made us, and we are his.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
Into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, and bless his Name.
5For YAHWEH is good.
His loving kindness endures forever,
His faithfulness to all generations.
- 100:1 YAHWEH, the name God revealed to Prophet Musa in the Taurat, Exodus 3:15 – God said moreover to Musa, “You shall tell Bani-Israel this, ‘YAHWEH, the God of your fathers, the God of Ibrahim, the God of Ishaq, and the God of Yaqub, has sent me to you.’ This is my Name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered to all generations.” ↩︎
- 100:3 God, English translation of elohim. Elohim (Hebrew) is related to allah (Arabic) and alaha (Syriac), all of which correctly translate as “God,” and refer to the one true God. ↩︎
