The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 100:1-5

An Invitation to All Men to Serve the True God. A psalm of praise, properly placed here to close this wonderful series of praise anthems, the summons here being to give thanksgiving to God, the Creator, Preserver, and Benefactor of men. v. 1. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, with the voice of exultant singing, all ye lands, Psalms 98:4. v. 2. Serve the Lord with gladness, not in the fear and terror of the Law, but with the joy flowing from true faith; come before His presence with... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Universal Praise Psalms 100:1-5 If we could enter into the spirit of this psalm, every day would be a Thanksgiving Day. The psalmist invites all the earth to enter into the courts of God’s house with joyful songs. In many of the Psalms the minor chords overpower the major ones, and weeping prevails over rejoicing. But this psalm is full of unclouded sunlight. The reason for this gladness is suggested in the words: We are His : His by creation, by providence, and by grace; and His also by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

This is the last song of the series, and forms a fitting conclusion to the movement which commenced in Psalms 93:1-5. There the Divine assumption of the throne and government was the subject. Here it is that of the benefits resulting to the whole earth. All lands are called upon to sing the song of His reign. The strength of their song is to be their service rendered with gladness. Israel is viewed as the witness to the Divine power and goodness. The peoples are supposed to see the position... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:5

DIVINE GOODNESS AND TRUTH‘For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.’Psalms 100:5 I. There are some passages of the Word which admit of no explanation.—They are so simple, that they at once find their way to the understanding; yet so full of meaning, that they draw forth our deepest emotions. The words before us belong to this class. Who can say more than that the Lord is good? His very name—God—signifies the good One; and His mercy is... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

C. A Processional Hymn (see Psalms 100:4).— The Ps. invites the Israelites to be joyful, declares Yahweh is the only God and the Maker of all, and that He is specially the God of Israel. Psalms 100:2 . Serve: offer sacrifice to (see Isaiah 19:21; Isaiah 19:23). Psalms 100:3 . we are his: this suits the context better, but “ He hath made us,” i.e. made us what we are, viz. the people of redemption, is also a possible reading. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 100

Psalms 100:0 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm seems to have been composed for the use of the Israelites in their thank-offerings, or upon other solemn occasions of praising God, as the title speaks; but withal it hath a further prospect, even to the days of the Messiah, as some of the Hebrew doctors acknowledge, and to the calling of the Gentiles, whom he invites to join with them in the praises of God their Lord and Maker. An exhortation to praise God joyfully, Psalms 100:1,Psalms 100:2, for his... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 100:1

Make a joyful noise; partly with voices and songs of rejoicing and thanksgiving; and partly with musical instruments, as the manner then was. All ye lands; all the inhabitants of the earth. Or, all the land, i.e. all the people of Israel dwelling in this land. Although his invitation seems to be more general, extending also to the Gentiles, of whom many even in those days joined themselves to the church of God. read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 100:3

It is he that hath made us; both by creation, and by adoption and regeneration, whereby he made us his people, which also is called a creation or making, as Deuteronomy 32:6; Isaiah 29:23; Isaiah 43:7; Ephesians 2:10. And not we ourselves; therefore we owe him homage and service, and him only, and not other gods, who made us not. read more
