Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 100:2 In-Context

1 Ein Lobpsalm. Jauchzet Jehova, ganze Erde!

2 Dienet Jehova mit Freuden; kommet vor sein Angesicht mit Jubel!

3 Erkennet, daß Jehova Gott ist! Er hat uns gemacht, und nicht wir selbst, sein Volk und die Herde seiner Weide.

4 Kommet in seine Tore mit Lob, in seine Vorhöfe mit Lobgesang! Lobet ihn, preiset seinen Namen!

5 Denn gut ist Jehova; seine Güte währt ewiglich, und seine Treue von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht.
