Psalm 95 - Oh Come, let us sing to the LORD

Psalm 95:2

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

AELW 11:252

"For it has often been said, on the basis of the apostle’s teaching, how we behold the glory of the Lord with open face (2 Cor. 3:18). Therefore in this life no one sees the face of the Lord except by faith. Therefore “to come before His face” means to come before by faith in His divinity, as Ps. 4:6 says: “The light of Thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us.” Briefly, then, “the Lord’s face” is the very revelation of the divinity of Christ, which was veiled under the letter and the humanity, as was the face of Moses under a veil (2 Cor. 3:13). But after His ascension into heaven He revealed it through the Holy Spirit, as He promised, saying: “He will glorify Me” (John 16:14). Hence he rightly adds “with thanksgiving” (in confessione), to express how His face could be taken hold of, namely, not in clear sight, but by faith and thanksgiving. Faith confesses to the Lord."
