Psaume 100:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 100:2

Serve the Lord with gladness
Not with a slavish fear, under a spirit of bondage, as the Jews under the legal dispensation; not in the oldness of the letter, but in the newness of the Spirit: with spiritual joy and freedom of soul, as under the spirit of adoption; readily, willingly, cheerfully; without sinister and selfish ends and views; as their Lord and Master; taking delight in his person, and pleasure in his service; rejoicing in him, without having any confidence in the flesh:

come before his presence with singing;
to the throne of his grace with thankfulness for mercies received, as well as to implore others; and into his house, and at his ordinances, beginning public worship with singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; see ( Psalms 95:2 ) .

Psaume 100:2 In-Context

1 Psaume de louange. Poussez vers l'Eternel des cris de joie, Vous tous, habitants de la terre!
2 Servez l'Eternel, avec joie, Venez avec allégresse en sa présence!
3 Sachez que l'Eternel est Dieu! C'est lui qui nous a faits, et nous lui appartenons; Nous sommes son peuple, et le troupeau de son pâturage.
4 Entrez dans ses portes avec des louanges, Dans ses parvis avec des cantiques! Célébrez-le, bénissez son nom!
5 Car l'Eternel est bon; sa bonté dure toujours, Et sa fidélité de génération en génération.
