come . . . presence--literally, "approach," or, meet Him (Psa 17:13).

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Let us come before his presence - Margin, as in Hebrew, "prevent his face." The word in Hebrew means literally to come before; to anticipate. It is the word which is commonly rendered "prevent." See Job 3:12, note; Psa 17:13, note; Psa 59:10, note; Th1 4:15, note. Here it means to come before, in the sense of "in front of." Let us stand before his face; that is, in his very presence. With thanksgiving - Expressing our thanks. And make a joyful noise unto him - The same word which occurs in Psa 95:1. With psalms - Songs of praise.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Let us come before his presence - פניו panaiv, his faces, with thanksgiving, בתודה bethodah, with confession, or with the confession-offering. Praise him for what he has all ready done, and confess your unworthiness of any of his blessings. The confession-offering, the great atoning sacrifice, can alone render your acknowledgment of sin and thanksgiving acceptable to a holy and just God.
