Bible Commentary

Psalms 100:1

'Make a joyful noise' is literally a shout — a battle cry of joy. This is not a polite, quiet suggestion. The psalmist calls every land on earth to erupt in joyful noise before God. God is worthy of the loudest, most joyful praise the whole world can offer.

Memory phrase: Shout for joy to the LORD!

Talk about it: What makes you so happy that you want to shout? How does God make you feel like that?

Prayer: God, I want to shout for joy because of who You are! You are great and good and worth all the noise I can make!
