Psalms 100:1-5

Psalm PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 100:1. This hymn is not explicitly a psalm celebrating God’s kingship, but it brings the collection of kingship hymns to a close with its enthusiastic call to come before the Lord in worship. Like the divine kingship psalms, this hymn invites “all the earth” (all the Gentiles) to join the song of praise. The title declares that this psalm is “for giving thanks.” That is certainly fitting, as the worshipers thank the universal Creator for the privilege of being “the sheep of his pasture.”
