Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Ver. 2. Let us come before his presence] Heb. prevent his face, be there with the first. "Let us go speedily … I will go also," Zechariah 8:21. Let praise wait for God in Sion, Psalms 65:1. Rabbi Gaon, Praeveniamus et ante diem iudicii, Let us make haste, saith he, to do it, before the day of judgment; and lest we be taken with our task undone. Others, Let us anticipate his face, that is, prepare our hearts at home, before we come into the public; or, let us give thanks for mercies already received, that we may make way for more.
With psalms] Oratione prorsa et vorsa.
