Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 100:1-5THE Psalms of the King end with this full-toned call to all the earth to do Him homage. It differs from the others of the group, by making no distinct mention either of Jehovah’s royal title or of the great act of deliverance which was His visible exercise of sovereignty. But it resembles them in its jubilant tone, its urgent invitation to all men to walk in the light which shone on Israel, and its conviction that the mercies shown to the nation bad blessing in them for all the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 100:0 Nothing but Praise It is Israel’s voice in praise which we hear in this brief Psalm, which so fittingly concludes this series of great millennial Psalms. They exhort that all the earth should make a joyful noise unto the Lord, to serve Him and come before Him with singing. The third verse tells us that they are the speakers. All are to enter His gates with thanksgiving and come into His courts with praise. How often is this Psalm used in a spiritualized way, making the gates and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 100:1-2

No service can be real, that is not free, and performed with gladness. Think, my soul, with what freeness, and gladness of heart, thy Jesus entered upon his service, when he cried out, at the call of the Father, Lo! I come: I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my bowels; forming part of myself, so congenial it is to my whole soul. Psalms 40:7-8 . My soul, what sayest thou to this view of thy Saviour? Oh! how precious to behold Him everywhere, and in all things! read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 100:3

Observe the motives, and the encouragements, to this cheerful service. Our God, is God; and be is a good God; and he is our God, as our Creator: and we are his, by right of creation, like sheep that have an owner. And, being his property, shall we not be his care? Yes, for he is good, sweet thought! both by creation, and by redemption, we are his; and therefore he hath an undoubted right to all our services; and well may we give him the tribute of praise. read more
