1. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.
"Joyful noise:Happy sounds"
What are we to do? Make a joyful noise
To Whom should we do it? unto the Lord
Who should be doing it? all ye lands
2. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing.
"Serve the Lord." Sure but how? "with gladness"
What does one do to to "serve the Lord?"
Put Him first in every decision. Think of others before oneself. Then attend to one's personal needs. In other words: "J(esus 1st) O (thers 2nd) Y (ourself, last). Real, "JOY" is this formula.
3. Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
"It is He that hath made us." "The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Gen 2:7
So, who do we think we are to boast in anything?
Simple and succinct.
Praise Him, Sing songs to/about Him, Serve Him.
Why? because "it is He that hath made us and not we ourselves..."
