Psalm 100 - A Joyful Noise of Thanksgiving

Five verses of pure thanksgiving, among the most quoted in the Psalter.

Psalms 100: Make a Joyful Noise Unto the LORD

Psalm 100 opens in Psalms 100:1 with the famous call to 'make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands,' one of the shortest and best-known entries in the Psalms overview.


A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth.

Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing.

Know that Jehovah He `is' God, He made us, and we are His, His people -- and the flock of His pasture.

Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name.

For good `is' Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to generation and generation His faithfulness!

Its instruction to 'enter into his gates with thanksgiving' matches the call to sing 'with grace in your hearts to the Lord' found in <a href="/bible/ylt/colossians/chapter-3/16">Colossians 3:16-17</a>. The psalm's closing note, that God's truth endures to all generations, sets a warm tone before the vow of <a href="/bible/ylt/psalms/chapter-101">Psalms 101</a>.
