Psalm 100: A Song of Thanksgiving
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.Worship the Lord with gladness;come into his presence with singing.Know that the Lord is God.It is he that made us, and we are his;we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.Enter his gates with thanksgiving,and his courts with praise.Give thanks to him, bless his name.For the Lord is good;his steadfast love endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100, often called the “Jubilate,” is a call to worship rooted in the communal life of ancient Israel. It was likely sung during temple rituals, when worshippers brought sacrifices of gratitude. The writer, inspired by the grandeur of God's creation and the covenant relationship, crafted this psalm to guide the people in offering their joyful adoration. Every phrase invites the listener to "make a joyful noise" and recognize the Lord's steadfast love and enduring faithfulness.
Psalm 100 would have been performed with music, likely accompanied by lyres, harps, trumpets, and perhaps tambourines. Picture pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem, singing this hymn in unison as they approached the temple gates, their voices blending in sacred harmony.
