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.
Joyful Noise and the Concept of Praise
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.
Psalm 100 on Wikipedia
Psalm 100 (Greek numbering: Psalm 99) is part of the biblical Book of Psalms. It may be used as a canticle in the Anglican liturgy of Morning Prayer, when it is referred to by its incipit as the Jubilate or Jubilate Deo. It also constitutes the bulk of the first movement of Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms.
According to Professor William Schniedewind from UCLA, Psalm 100 was also part of the liturgy of the ancient Jerusalem temple and was reused in later Psalms and prophetic texts, particularly the ambiguous verse 3 ("Are We His People or Not? Biblical Interpretation During Crisis," Biblica 76 (1995), pp. 540-550).
In Judaism, Psalm 100 () is part of the daily prayer service, except on Shabbat, festivals, Chol HaMoed of Pesach, and the days before Yom Kippur and Pesach. Psalm 100 is representative of the Thanksgiving offering, which thanks God for having been saved from dangers we face every day. A person always faces danger in his daily routine, even though he may be unaware of it.
Psalm 100 is omitted the day before and during Pesach because the Thanksgiving offering is composed of a loaf of bread, which is chametz that may not be consumed during Pesach. It is omitted the day before Yom Kippur because no food is consumed on Yom Kippur.
