This is a psalm that would be sung by the nation of Israel during their times of thank-offerings. While making sacrifices of praise. There were celebrations held during the worship times of Israel that included making sacrifices. Sacrifices made, specifically, to praise God and be grateful to him.
This is the context in which this Psalm was sung. A reminder that just even the fact that it is God’s pleasure that we are alive is reason enough to praise him. A reminder that all of them were welcome: That God is always waiting to receive them into His presence. That God’s love and kindness are more than anything they imagined.
