The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:2

Glad service. "Serve the Lord with gladness." So sings the psalmist, and his teaching has been echoed by the wisest of human teachers. "Give me the man who sings at his work;" so writes Carlyle. "A merry heart goes all the day, Your sad tires in a mile-a." So teaches Shakespeare. Now glad service is what God asks for here. But— I. IT IS ALL TOO RARE . That it is so is evident; for: 1 . Look at the countenances of those who profess to serve God. How grave, gloomy,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 100:2

Service with gladness. "Make a joyful noise;" "Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing." It does not appear that anything in the nature of a song service was connected with the Mosaic tabernacle. David systematized, if he did not actually introduce, that element. And it made a vital change. Previously the Divine worship had been a ceremony; from that time it became a service. Previously it had been an affair exclusively of priests; from that time it became... 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 100:2

Serve the Lord with gladness - That is, In your worship, and in all your acts of obedience. Let there be joy in this service. Let it not be with the fear of slaves; not as a matter of compulsion and force; not with reluctance, moroseness, or gloom. Let it be a cheerful, happy service; let it be freely rendered, let it be an occasion of joy to the soul. The service of God is a source of the highest joy that man knows.Come before his presence with singing - As expressive of joy. So the birds... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 100:3

Know ye that the Lord, he is God - That is, Let all the nations know that Yahweh is the true God. The idols are vanity. They have no claim to worship; but God is the Creator of all, and is entitled to universal adoration.It is he that hath made us - The Hebrew is, “He made us,” and this expresses the exact idea. The fact that he is the Creator proves that he is God, since no one but God can perform the work of creation. The highest idea that we can form of power is that which is evinced in an... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 100:1-2

Psalms 100:1-2. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord Partly, with voices, and songs of rejoicings, and thanksgiving; and partly with musical instruments, as the manner then was; all ye lands That is, all the inhabitants of the earth. When all nations shall be discipled, and the gospel preached to every creature, then this summons will be fully obeyed. Serve the Lord with gladness Devote yourselves to, and employ yourselves in, his service. Come before his presence with singing In the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 100:3-5

Psalms 100:3-5. Know that the Lord Hebrews Jehovah, he is God The only living and true God; a being infinitely perfect, self-existent, and self- sufficient; and the fountain of all being; the first cause and last end of all things. It is he that hath made us Not only by creation, but by regeneration, which is also called a creation, because by it we are made his people. Hence we owe him homage and service, and him only. and not other gods, who did neither make nor new-make us. He, and... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 97-100 God the universal kingPsalms 97:0 follows on from the thought on which the previous psalm closed (namely, that God is king over the earth). It shows that holiness, righteousness and justice are the basis of God’s kingdom. His judgment will be as universal as a flash of lightning and as powerful as an all-consuming fire (97:1-5). Every thing will bow before his rule (6-7). His own people already recognize him as Lord and bring him fitting worship (8-9). They can experience the... read more
