hide text
The psalmist called on the Israelites to enter the gates of Jerusalem with thanksgiving in their hearts. They should enter the temple courtyard with praise on their lips. They should express their gratitude to Him for His many blessings and should bless Him.
The reason for this behavior is that God is good to His people. His loyal love lasts forever. Furthermore He will continue to remain faithful to all generations of people.
Every generation that benefits from Yahweh's goodness, loyal love, and faithfulness should carry out this psalm's exhortation to serve God happily and worship Him gratefully.
