1 > Shout for joy to Yahweh, all you lands!
Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
Again he says, "Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people."
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous! Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!
These shall lift up their voice, they shall shout; for the majesty of Yahweh they cry aloud from the sea. Therefore glorify Yahweh in the east, even the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel, in the isles of the sea! From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs: Glory to the righteous. But I said, I pine away, I pine away, woe is me! the treacherous have dealt treacherously; yes, the treacherous have dealt very treacherously.
Sing to Yahweh a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants of it. Let the wilderness and the cities of it lift up [their voice], the villages that Kedar does inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the islands.
> I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.
Praise Yahweh, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples! For his loving kindness is great toward us. Yahweh's faithfulness endures forever. Praise Yah!
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth! Sing praises to the Lord! Selah.
Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, For you will judge the peoples with equity, And govern the nations on earth. Selah.
> Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
Rejoice, you nations, [with] his people: For he will avenge the blood of his servants, Will render vengeance to his adversaries, Will make expiation for his land, for his people.

Commentary on Psalms 100 Keil & Delitzsch Commentary
Call of All the World to the Service of the True God
This Psalm closes the series of deutero-Isaianic Psalms, which began with Ps 91. There is common to all of them that mild sublimity, sunny cheerfulness, unsorrowful spiritual character, and New Testament expandedness, which we wonder at in the second part of the Book of Isaiah; and besides all this, they are also linked together by the figure anadiplosis, and manifold consonances and accords.
The arrangement, too, at least from Psalms 93:1-5 onwards, is Isaianic: it is parallel with the relation of Isaiah 24:1 to Psalms 13:1 . Just as the former cycle of prophecies closes that concerning the nations, after the manner of a musical finale, so the Psalms celebrating the dominion of God, from Psalms 93:1-5 onwards, which vividly portray the unfolded glory of the kingship of Jahve, have Jubilate and Cantate Psalms in succession.
From the fact that this last Jubilate is entirely the echo of the first, viz., of the first half of Psalms 95:1-11, we see how ingenious the arrangement is. There we find all the thoughts which recur here. There it is said in Psalms 95:7, He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the flock of His hand. And in Psalms 95:2, Let us come before His face with thanksgiving ( בּתודה ), let us make a joyful noise unto Him in songs!
