Text -- Psalms 100:2-5 (NET)

100:2 Worship the Lord with joy! Enter his presence with joyful singing! 100:3 Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us and we belong to him; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give him thanks! Praise his name! 100:5 For the Lord is good. His loyal love endures, and he is faithful through all generations.

Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Psa 100:2

¹ tn Or “serve.”

NET Notes: Psa 100:3

¹ tn The present translation (like most modern translations) follows the Qere (marginal reading), which reads literally, “and to him [are] we.” The Kethib (consonantal text) has “and not we.” The suffixed preposition לו (“to him”) was confused aurally with the negative particle לא because the two sound identical.

NET Notes: Psa 100:5

¹ tn Or “is forever.”

² tn Heb “and to a generation and a generation [is] his faithfulness.”
