Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 100:4

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,And into his courts with praise:Give thanks unto him and bless his name."The mention of "gates" and "courts" here was a reference, no doubt, to those features of the Jewish Temple; but they are equally applicable to the kingdom of God. The Church of Our Lord is the current Temple of God; and the Savior himself admonished us all to "enter in" by the straight gate. He also called himself the "door of the sheep."Yates has pointed out that a number of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 100:5

"For Jehovah is good; his lovingkindness endureth forever,And his faithfulness unto all generations."God's goodness, his lovingkindness, and his faithfulness are among those attributes of God which were singled out by Yates.

The psalm is simply labeled, "A Psalm of Praise," or... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 100:5

Psalms 100:5. For the Lord is good— I think the following, says Mudge, is the true version. Bless his name, for it is good: the Lord, for his favour is everlasting; and so every where. See Psalms 135:3. This last verse seems to be the response of the whole chorus of the priests, at the instant of firing the sacrifice; the prefect or precentor having sung the rest. But the psalm may also be understood as prophetical of the calling forth of Jews and Gentiles to the profession of the Gospel. And... read more
