Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary
Therefore shall the men of all nations enter with thanksgiving into the gates of His Temple and into the courts of His Temple with praise (Psa 96:8), in order to join themselves in worship to His church, which - a creation of Jahve for the good of the whole earth - is congregated about this Temple and has it as the place of its worship. The pilgrimage of all peoples to the holy mountain is an Old Testament dress of the hope for the conversion of all peoples to the God of revelation, and the close union of all with the people of this God. His Temple is open to them all. They may enter, and when they enter they have to look for great things. For the God of revelation (52:11; 54:8) is "good" (Psa 25:8; Psa 34:9), and His loving-kindness and faithfulness endure for ever - the thought that recurs frequently in the later Hallelujah and Hodu Psalms and is become a liturgical formula (Jer 33:11). The mercy of loving-kindness of God is the generosity, and His faithfulness the constancy, of His love.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Join joyfully in His public worship. The terms are, of course, figurative (compare Psa 84:2; Psa 92:13; Isa 66:23). Enter--or, "Come with solemnity" (Psa 95:6).
John Gill Bible Commentary
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,.... The same with the gates of Zion, loved by the Lord more than all the dwellings of Jacob; the gates of Jerusalem, within which the feet of the saints stand with pleasure; the gates of Wisdom, or Christ, where his followers watch and wait; the gates into his house, the church, and the public ordinances of it, to be entered into with thankfulness for all mercies, temporal and spiritual; for the Gospel, and Gospel opportunities and ordinances: and into his courts with praise; with the sacrifice of praise, as in Psa 96:8, of these courts, see Psa 65:4, be thankful unto him; for all blessings of grace in him and by him; for all things, and at all times: and bless his name; by ascribing honour, blessing, and glory to him, saying, "blessed be his glorious name for ever", Psa 72:19.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
100:4 Gates and courts were part of the Temple in Jerusalem.
Psalms 100:4
Make a Joyful Noise
3Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 4Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.
