Psalm 100
Darby Translation · 5 verses
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth!2Serve Jehovah with joy: come before his presence with exultation.3Know that Jehovah is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.4Enter into his gates with thanksgiving [and] into his courts with praise; give thanks unto him, bless his name:5For Jehovah is good; his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; and his faithfulness from generation to generation.Darby's Synopsis
Psalm 100 is the summons to universal worship of Jehovah with gladness and praise. Jehovah is good. Verse 5 gives in principle the great truth so often laid down as Israel's hope — His mercy endures for ever — which gave them too to say, How long? "All ye lands" is free as a translation; it is rather "all the land" (of Israel) or "all the earth." The claim of Israel to be His people and the sheep of His pasture seems to extend it to the earth.
