Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET
PSALM 100
As closing this series (see on JFB for 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 (Psa 2:11-12).
3. To the obligations of a creature and subject is added that of a beneficiary (Psa 95:7).
4. Join joyfully in His public worship. The terms are, of course, figurative (compare Psa 84:2; 92:13; Isa 66:23).
Enter—or, "Come with solemnity" (Psa 95:6).
5. The reason: God's eternal mercy and truth (Psa 25:8; 89:7).
