¹Lift up a great shout of joy to Yahweh !

Go ahead and do it—everyone, everywhere!

²Worship Yahweh with gladness.

Sing your way into his presence with joy!

³And realize what this really means—

we have the privilege of worshiping Yahweh our God.

For he is our Creator and we belong to him.

We are the people of his pleasure.

⁴You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise.[#100:4 The Hebrew word for “gate [doorway]” is sha’ar and has multiple meanings. It can also mean “storm.” When you pass through his gates you enter into the stormy, passionate love of God. See Rev. 3:20.]

Come right into his presence with thanksgiving.

Come bring your thank offering to him

and affectionately bless his beautiful name!

⁵For Yahweh is always good and ready to receive you.

He’s so loving that it will amaze you—

so kind that it will astound you!

And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all.

Everyone knows our God can be trusted,

for he keeps his promises to every generation!
