詩篇 100:3-5 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Jubilate. This psalm, which comes at the close of the magnificent series of royal psalms, which tell of the reign of Christ Jehovah, has been called their doxology. It seems to have been sung during the thank offering in the temple service (Le Psalms 7:12 ). "Luther would have immortalized his name had he done no more than written the majestic air and harmony to which we are accustomed to sing this psalm, and which, when the mind is in a truly worshipping frame, seems to bring heaven... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Worship. I. THE CALL TO THE WORSHIP OF GOD . 1 . It is to be the worship of joyful song. ( Psalms 100:1 , Psalms 100:2 .) Not the worship of silent thought, but of glad utterance. True fear and joy not incompatible. 2 . It is to be universal worship. ( Psalms 100:1 .) "All ye lands," or "All the earth"—Gentiles as well as Jews. 3 . It is to be the worship of thankful gratitude. ( Psalms 100:4 .) In remembrance of all the Divine benefits and mercies... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:3

Know ye that the Lord he is God; or, be sure— "recognize the fact as a certainty" (see the Prayer book Version). It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; or, according to another reading, and his are we. This latter reading is preferred by De Wette, Kay, Cheyne, and the Revised Version. But the other, which was the reading of the LXX ; and is supported by the Vulgate and the old commentators generally, should, however, be retained, as yielding a better sense. We are... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:3

The gospel of our creation. "It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves." This declaration was held to be a gospel. It occurs in a psalm that may well be regarded as a universal psalm. It is not for Jesus only, but for "all people that on earth do dwell." And amongst the reasons wherefore it calls on all to be joyful in the Lord, there is this one—that "it is he that hath made us," etc. I. NOW , WE CANNOT CONCEIVE OF GOD AS ACTING WITHOUT MOTIVE . And— II. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:3

The sovereign rights of God our Maker. "It is he that hath made us." This might truly enough be the exclamation of an individual; but it is a public psalm, sung at public worship, and it is the expression of a nation. Special interest attaches to it as the language of a restored nation, one that has begun again its national career. It must be associated with the circumstances of the returned exiles, and it is their rejoicing in their new national relations with God. We may cover the entire... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:4

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. The mention of" gates" and" courts" points primarily to the temple worship, but the reference may be, as Professor Alexander suggests, "typical or metaphorical" rather than literal, and may extend to all the faithful and to all places of worship. Be thankful unto him; or, give thanks unto him (Revised Version). And bless his Name (comp. Psalms 96:2 ; Psalms 145:21 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:4

Blessing the Divine Name. "Bless his Name." The name stands for the Being named. It does but gather up and focus his most glorious and gracious attributes. The distinction on which we may dwell is this—It is fitting that we render thanks to God, in our loving recognition of what he has done for us. It is fitting that we should bless his Name as we recognize what he must be, who has done for us such good and gracious things. Possibly a distinction may be made between thanking God, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:5

For the Lord is good . His mercy is everlasting; literally, his mercy is forever. Compare the frequent refrain, "His mercy endureth forever" ( Psalms 118:1-4 , Psalms 118:29 ; Psalms 136:1-26 , etc.). And his truth (or, his faithfulness ) endureth to all generations; literally, to generation and generation. All men's hope is in God's "faithfulness," that he will keep his promises to them—pardon them, deliver them, cleanse them, and give them rest in his kingdom forever. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:5

His truth endureth. Test this declaration. I. AS TO WHAT GOD HIMSELF IS . He is ever true. None of the miserable motives which lead men to be untrue can have any power with him. Examine all his works, whether in nature, providence, or grace, and in all it will be found that he acts consistently with himself. II. AS TO HIS WORD OF TRUTH . That is contained in the Holy Scriptures, and whether we appeal to the testimony of conscience, or to that of history,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:5

The goodness of God. The word "good" is used as the one supremely suitable for God. But we are not left to our own guidance to find out what is included in the term. We are told that God's goodness is made up of two things: "Goodness is a very comprehensive quality. It is love, kindness, benevolence, that which leads you to wish well and to do good to those around you; and the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord, because it is so full of his works and ways, which are the fruits... read more
