Glad to worship together.

In simple words
What does this verse mean?
The singer is glad when invited to go to the house of God. Sharing worship with others can bring belonging and joy. People who cannot travel or attend a gathering still matter and can be included through visits, shared prayer and other thoughtful contact.
If you are going to a gathering, help someone feel welcome. You might also think of someone unable to come and ask an adult how to include them.
