Psalm 7:7
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

Psalm 100:2,4
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing…

Jeremiah 31:12,13
Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all…

come before his presence.

Psalm 17:13
Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked,which is thy sword:

Psalm 105:2
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

James 5:13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.
The call to make a joyful noise highlights the exuberant and expressive nature of worship. In the cultural context of the Psalms, music and singing were integral to worship, as seen in the use of psalms in temple services and religious festivals (2 Chronicles 5:13). This joyful noise is not merely about volume but about the heartfelt expression of joy and reverence for God. Theologically, this connects to the New Testament exhortation inEphesians 5:19, where believers are encouraged to speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. The phrase also points to the eschatological hope found inRevelation 5:9-10, where the redeemed sing a new song before the throne of God, celebrating His redemptive work through Jesus Christ.

• The verse opens with an invitation, not a suggestion. It calls every believer to step into the very presence of the LORD, just asHebrews 10:19–22 affirms that we have “confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus.”

•Psalm 100:4 echoes this same doorway: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.” This is a literal act of coming before God, whether privately or corporately.

• When we draw near, we are acknowledging that God is not distant.James 4:8 promises, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

• Gratitude shapes our posture.Colossians 3:15 instructs, “And be thankful,” while1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in every circumstance; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

• Thanksgiving keeps us mindful of God’s past faithfulness—recalling His deeds like those listed inPsalm 107.

• A thankful heart displaces complaint.Philippians 4:6 reminds us to replace anxiety with thankful prayer, guarding our hearts with God’s peace.

• “Joyful noise” implies volume and celebration, much likePsalm 98:4: “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth; burst into jubilant song.”

• God is worthy of enthusiastic praise.Luke 19:37 describes crowds “rejoicing and praising God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen.”

• Joy glorifies God and strengthens us (Nehemiah 8:10). It is not mere emotion but a response to God’s character.

• The object of our singing is God Himself, not performance.Colossians 3:16 urges, “Sing to God with gratitude in your hearts,” andEphesians 5:19 speaks of “singing and making music from your heart to the Lord.”

• Singing unites truth and emotion.Psalm 147:7 commands, “Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.”

• Scripture ends with heavenly songs (Revelation 5:9), underscoring that worship in song is an eternal activity.

Psalm 95:2 invites us to approach God personally and corporately, hearts overflowing with gratitude, voices lifted in joyful, God-directed song. Enter boldly, thank deliberately, rejoice loudly, and sing sincerely—because He is worthy.
