How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse is structured around two main verbs: עִבְד֣וּ (serve) and בֹּ֥אוּ (come), which govern the actions of the worshipers. The imperative form of these verbs indicates a direct call to the audience.
The first clause emphasizes the act of serving the LORD, while the second clause invites worshipers to approach Him, creating a parallel structure that highlights both service and presence in worship.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

For בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה, the LXX uses εὐφροσύνῃ (euphrosynē), which conveys a sense of joy and merriment, aligning with the psalmist's call for joyous worship.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads, "עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־ יְהוָ֣ה בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה בֹּ֥אוּ לְ֝פָנָ֗יו בִּרְנָנָֽה׃" which translates to "Serve the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with joyful songs." The Septuagint has a similar structure, with 5 of the 7 words matching the Masoretic Text, but it presents them in a different order and includes its own articles. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q84) contain a fragment that includes the words for "serve," "LORD," "gladness," "come," and "joyful song," but some words are either partially restored or supplied by an editor, indicating that while the core meaning is preserved, the text is not fully intact. Overall, the Masoretic Text and the Septuagint agree in meaning, while the Dead Sea Scrolls provide partial support for the same ideas with some textual differences.
עִבְד֣וּ אֶת־ יְהוָ֣ה בְּשִׂמְחָ֑ה בֹּ֥אוּ לְ֝פָנָ֗יו בִּרְנָנָֽה׃
5 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
עבדו [את] [יהוה] [בשמחה] באו [לפני׳ו] [ברננה]
1 word on the leather — 1 partly restored, 5 supplied entire by an editor.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
