Psalms 100:1

An exhortation to praise God cheerfully, for his greatness, and for his power.

A Psalm of Praise.

Title. לתודה מזמור mizmor lethodah— This is the only psalm in the whole collection intitled "A Psalm of Praise;" and it is supposed to have received this appellation because peculiarly adapted, if not designed, to be sung when the sacrifices of thanksgiving were offered. See Leviticus 7:12. The Greeks think it was written by David, who here invites all the world to join with the Israelites in the service of God, whose divine sovereignty he here recognizes.
