Psalm 100 is unique in part because of its title, “A Psalm for Giving Thanks.” As the only song in the Psalter with this designation, this psalm helps to recalibrate our thinking of how God’s children are to express their gratitude toward Him. Alistair Begg unpacks the what, how, where, and why of thanksgiving, encouraging us not to miss the opportunity to be in God’s presence and to give Him the praise He deserves.
1pMake a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2qServe the Lord with gladness!
rCome into his presence with singing!
3Know that sthe Lord, he is God!
It is he who tmade us, and uwe are his;1
we are his vpeople, and wthe sheep of his pasture.
4xEnter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his ycourts with praise!
Give thanks to him; zbless his name!
5aFor the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his bfaithfulness to all generations.
