Psalm 100:3 KJV

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 100:3-5

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

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Psalms 100:3

God. Hebrew. Elohim. App-4 . The Hebrew accent places the chief pause on "God"; the minor pauses on "know" and "made": i.e. the knowledge of Jehovah as our God reveals to His People that He made them such, and that they are His "sheep" and His care. and not we ourselves. Some codices, with six early printed editions, read l'o ("not"); but other codices, with one early printed edition, Aramaean, read lo (for Him or His), "and His we are", as in Authorized Version margin The difference... read more

Psalms 100:3. Know ye, &c.— Acknowledge that, &c. "Recognize Jehovah for your God." The next clause is rendered by Houbigant and Mudge, more conformably to the context, He hath made us, and we are his: his people, &c. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 100:1-5

Psalms 100An unknown writer invited God’s people to approach the Lord with joy in this well-known psalm. We can serve Him gladly because He is the Creator, and we can worship Him thankfully because He is good and faithful."Known as the Jubilate (’O be joyful’), it is a psalm much used in liturgical worship; but William Kethe’s fine paraphrase, ’All people that on earth do dwell’, has even wider currency wherever English is spoken. Finer still, but somewhat freer, is Isaac Watts’ version,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 100:3

We should appreciate the fact that Yahweh is the sovereign God. We should acknowledge that He has created us and that we are not self-made individuals. We belong to Him, and we partake of what He graciously provides for us. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

This famous Ps. (the ’Jubilate,’ ’Old Hundredth’) does not give God the title of King, but its contents are otherwise so similar to those of the previous ’theocratic’ Pss. that it is naturally grouped along with them both as to subject and date. It calls the world to worship God (Psalms 100:1-2), describes Him as the Creator and Shepherd of His people (Psalms 100:3), points to the second Temple as the seat of His service (Psalms 100:4), and closes with an ascription of praise which was often... read more
