1 A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.
2 Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.
3 Know that Jehovah he [is] God; he made us, and not we, his people, and sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise; give thanks to him, bless his name.
5 For Jehovah [is] good; for ever [is] his mercy, and his faithfulness from generation to generation.
Notes on Psalm 100
Its title is “A psalm of thanksgiving,” and how just! Here Israel calls to universal thanksgiving; no churlishness to the Gentile more. Jehovah’s mercy enjoyed makes His people bountiful.
The previous group of psalms anticipated in the Spirit of Christ, the revelation of Jehovah to the joy of His people and the nations, indeed of all the earth. The last of them demonstrates the great change by divine grace, when Israel will welcome the Gentiles to His courts, not only without jealousy, but with all their hearts. A fresh cluster now follows.
