A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout
for joy to the Lord, all the
earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter
his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.
**************
「稱謝」就是「感謝」的意思，詩人感受到上帝的慈愛與憐憫的作為，所以就寫下這首詩歌。而感謝中會加上讚美，是非常平常的事，於是在這首感謝詩的當中穿插了許多的讚美！因為讚美是針對上帝的屬性，與感謝略有不同。
在這詩的當中，人承認上帝是創造主，並且將生命交託給上帝！於是詩人宣告：「你們當曉得耶和華是上帝！我們是他造的，也是屬他的；我們是他的民，也是他草場的羊。」
詩人深深感受到，我們的生命必須有上帝這位大牧者，所以在此描寫到上帝和我們的關係：上帝是我們的牧人，因此我們是上帝的羊！」所以詩人感受到：「因為耶和華本為善。他的慈愛存到永遠；他的信實直到萬代。」
也因為如此，所以我們要和詩人一樣：「當稱謝進入他的門；當讚美進入他的院。當感謝他，稱頌他的名！」
而這首詩很適合在禮拜開始當宣召的詩歌或經文，呼召弟兄姊妹一同來敬拜上帝，因為我們聚集一敬拜上帝真的是「當稱謝進入他的門；當讚美進入他的院」。我們要「感謝他，稱頌他的名！」
