Psalms 100

Ps 100:1-5.

As closing this series (see on

Ps 93:1),

this Psalm is a general call on all the earth to render exalted praise

to God, the creator, preserver, and benefactor of men.

1, 2. With thankful praise, unite service as the subjects of a king

(Ps 2:11, 12).

3. To the obligations of a creature and subject is added that of a

beneficiary

(Ps 95:7).

4. Join joyfully in His public worship. The terms are, of course,

figurative (compare

Ps 84:2; 92:13;

Isa 66:23).

Enter--or, "Come with solemnity"

(Ps 95:6).

5. The reason: God's eternal mercy and truth

(Ps 25:8; 89:7).
