I see a model of worship in these 5 verses. The God of creation, who revealed himself to Israel, is the one whom we are to worship. These last verse protrays three attributes of God's nature that deserve our praise; his goodness, his eternal love, and his faithfulness that spans generations. The first 4 verses show what the worshiper should do. There is the attitude of reverence and thanksgiving that permeates the entire psalm. But the writer also includes 7 verbs (at least in the English translation) that display the worship; make noise, serve, come, know, enter, give thanks, and bless. Acceptable worship cannot be spectated, it must be lived out. I wonder if every other passage defining worship throughout both testaments falls in line with this psalm?
It doesn't take very long to read this psalm.
