Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Psa 100:1

¹ sn Psalm 100. The psalmist celebrates the fact that Israel has a special relationship to God and summons worshipers to praise the Lord for his faithfulness.

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.”
