References for Psa 100:3 —  1   2 

Psalm Ps. 100. This hymn is not explicitly a psalm celebrating God’s kingship, but it brings the collection of kingship hymns to a close with its enthusiastic call to come before the Lord in worship. Like the divine kingship psalms, this hymn invites “all the earth” (all the Gentiles) to join the song of praise. The title declares that this psalm is “for giving thanks.” That is certainly fitting, as the worshipers thank the universal Creator for the privilege of being “the sheep of his pasture.”

Ps. 100:1 joyful noise. Also translated “shout for joy” (66:1). all the earth. The Lord is the Creator of all people, not just Israel. Israel exists to bring light to the entire earth.

Ps. 100:3 He who made us seems to refer to God’s making Israel to be his people. his people, and the sheep of his pasture. See note on 74:1–3.

The worshipers delight to think of the people of God being preserved forever (see Gen. 17:7; Ps. 103:17–18).
