Psalm 100 affirms Genesis 1:28

 Psalm 100

[I comprehend Genesis 1:28, in Jesus’s perspective, to suggest that, while God offers appreciation and Jesus offers peace, male human-being unites to female and the unit provides safety& security to the living species and to the earth. Every person can& may accept the safety& security duty, which I call Genesis-1 “responsible-human-independence” or RHI.]

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
    Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. [Phrases in olive seem inclusive to all people. Phrases in gray indicate subjects and followers rather than all people. The two phrases in sky blue seem to debate the-God.]

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.

[David’s mystic thoughts flow from “joy to the Lord”, to “the Lord is God”, to “the Lord is good and his love endures forever”, to “his faithfulness” {“to ourselves and our Posterity”, citing the preamble to the U.S. Constitution}.

It’s a stretch, but V 5 does not oppose my suggestion that “ourselves and our Posterity” can& may accept the mystery of God’s love& Jesus’s faithfulness to save our soul, in order to apply RHI to safety& security for life.]
