Psalms 100:1-5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

EXPOSITION

THE hundredth psalm has for its title, "A Psalm of praise," or "of thanksgiving," and to this description it well answers. There is not a single mournful note in the composition. God is praised from the beginning to the end, and all the earth is called upon to join in blessing and thanking him. It has been suggested that it was probably written to be chanted by a festive procession as it approached and entered the temple (see Psalms 100:4). The whole runs on without any break or division.
