Psalms 100
Five compact verses headed "a psalm of thanksgiving" in tradition, and the most quoted call to worship in the Psalter. It moves from a shout (v. 1) to a single anchoring fact: "the LORD, he is God," who made us and keeps us as "the sheep of his pasture" (v. 3). The verbs pile up as commands — shout, serve, come, know, enter, give thanks, bless (vv. 1-4) — before the reason finally arrives.
- 1
Shout for joy to the LORD, all you lands!
- 2
Serve the LORD with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.
- 3
Know that the LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
- 4
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, and bless his name.
- 5
For the LORD is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.
- 1
Salmo de alabanza. CANTAD alegres á Dios, habitantes de toda la tierra.
- 2
Servid á Jehová con alegría: venid ante su acatamiento con regocijo.
- 3
Reconoced que Jehová él es Dios: él nos hizo, y no nosotros á nosotros mismos; pueblo suyo somos, y ovejas de su prado.
- 4
Entrad por sus puertas con reconocimiento, por sus atrios con alabanza: alabadle, bendecid su nombre.
- 5
Porque Jehová es bueno: para siempre es su misericordia, y su verdad por todas las generaciones.
Why the gates matter
Verse 4 imagines moving through temple "gates" and "courts," so the psalm is choreography for arrival, not abstract praise. The whole burst of imperatives drives toward one place: worship.
Only at the end (v. 5) does the ground appear — God is good, his loving kindness "endures forever" — making thanks a response to settled character, not mood.
