Gill's Notes on the Bible

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

Psalms 96:8, of these courts, see Psalms 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", Psalms 72:19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Enter into his gates ... - The gates which lead to his temple, or to the place of public worship.

Into his courts ... - The “courts” were literally the open spaces which surrounded the tabernacle or temple. It was in these that worship was celebrated, and not in the tabernacle or temple. See Psalms 65:4, note; Psalms 84:2, note; Psalms 92:13, note.

Be thankful unto him - That is, Offer thanksgiving and praise. Come before him with a grateful heart. See the notes at Psalms 50:14.

Bless his name - Bless him; praise him; ascribe honor to him; acknowledge him as God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 100:4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving — Publicly worship God; and when ye come to the house of prayer, be thankful that you have such a privilege; and when you enter his courts, praise him for the permission.

The word בתודה bethodah, which we render with thanksgiving, is properly with the confession-offering or sacrifice. See on the title. Psalms 100:1.

Bless his name. — Bless Jehovah, that he is your Elohim; see Psalms 100:3. In our liturgic service we say, "Speak good of his name;" we cannot do otherwise; we have nothing but good to speak of our God.
