Make a Joyful Noise - The History and Relevance of the 100th Psalm

The entire Book of Psalms is beautiful, and it is arguably the most popular book of The Holy Bible; the 100th division of Psalms is one of the most well known and loved psalms in the entire collection. Most likely penned by King David, the song is short, but it reveals much about the character and protocol of God, making it one of the most inspiring and even practical scriptural texts of the Christian faith.

The 100th Psalm


1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Enter Into His Gates: Symbolism of the Tabernacle

The Mosaic tabernacle of the Old estament symbolizes the journey of man toward God, detailing what man has to do to come into the presence of God and be accepted by God. Hebrews 8:2 says, A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. The physical tabernacle was a type and shadow of the spiritual tabernacle, which is the regenerated man.

When the 100th Psalm says to "Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise...", it signifies to the New Testament Church that when we want to enter into the presence of God for the purpose of communing with him, we must first thank and praise God for what he has already done. It doesn't make practical sense to ask God to do something else when we haven't shown our appreciation for what he has provided for us in the past and in the present. Therefore, the 100th Psalm reveals one of the most important aspects of the protocol of God by illuminating the need for thankfulness and adoration of our great God for who he is and all that he does for his people.

Bible Study Tools: The Strong's Concordance

I have had mine for years, and it's my primary tool for Bible study - I wouldn't study independently without it!

If you want to delve deeper into Psalm 100, the insight you can gain by learning about the Hebrew definitions of the words and being able to study topics related to praise, king David, and more is irreplacable. The Strong's Concordance makes that kind of intense study easy and painless.

I recommend it!
