Psalm 100:5

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

Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 100:5

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 100:5

How delightfully this verse closeth in upon what went before! Wherefore are such blessings bestowed? it might be well asked: Why hath Jehovah made us, and new made us, in Christ Jesus? Why opened his heavenly courts, and called upon us to come in? Is it because man is deserving, and faithful, and just? Oh no; for in ourselves we are most undeserving. Wherefore is the vast mercy then? Because the Lord is good; the Lord is gracious; he delighteth in mercy. He will have compassion on whom he will... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 100:5

PSALM C. (MISERICORDIAM & JUDICIUM.) The prophet exhorteth all, by his example, to follow mercy and justice. Persecute. Or abhor (Worthington) with a perfect hatred. We must shew our displeasure if we hear detraction, (Haydock) that we may not partake in the crime. (St. Jerome) --- The court is most likely to be infected with this vice, as people are continually endeavouring to supplant their rivals. (Calmet) --- Secret thoughts of resentment must be stifled in their birth. (Eusebius)... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 100:1-5

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 100:1-5

Universal Praise Psalms 100:1-5 If we could enter into the spirit of this psalm, every day would be a Thanksgiving Day. The psalmist invites all the earth to enter into the courts of God’s house with joyful songs. In many of the Psalms the minor chords overpower the major ones, and weeping prevails over rejoicing. But this psalm is full of unclouded sunlight. The reason for this gladness is suggested in the words: We are His : His by creation, by providence, and by grace; and His also by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 100:1-5

This is the last song of the series, and forms a fitting conclusion to the movement which commenced in Psalms 93:1-5. There the Divine assumption of the throne and government was the subject. Here it is that of the benefits resulting to the whole earth. All lands are called upon to sing the song of His reign. The strength of their song is to be their service rendered with gladness. Israel is viewed as the witness to the Divine power and goodness. The peoples are supposed to see the position... read more
