Psalms 100:3-5Know ye that the Lord He is God. The claims of God“Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him for ever.” There is a vast amount both of theology and philosophy in that simple answer, which our old divines have put into the mouth of a child. Were we to-day what we should be, it would be our element to love, to serve, to adore our God, and we should not need ministers to stir us to our pleasurable duty or remind us of Jehovah’s claims.I. Thy claims of God, on what are they... read more

Psalms 100:4Enter into His gates with thanksgiving. ThankfulnessThankfulness denotes a composite emotion, whose elements are joy for a gift, and love for the giver.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 100:4

4. Thanksgiving The word should here also be understood of the zebahh-hatodah, the praise offering under the law. See note on the title of this psalm. But this ground idea anticipates the spiritual and prophetic sense the ceaseless praise offering of the lips by the universal Church, fully brought out in Hebrews 13:15; Hosea 14:2. Be thankful unto him Give thanks to him. As the priest led the victim to the altar, and the people entered the sacred enclosure and drew near to... read more

5. For the Lord is good “This last seems to be the response of the whole chorus of the priests at the instant of the firing of the sacrifice, the prefect, or precentor, having begun the previous strains.” Hammond. But in a higher sense, it is the refrain to the song of the universal Church when the grand praise offering for the world’s submission shall be presented, through our great High Priest. read more
