Verses 1-5

C. A Processional Hymn (see Psalms 100:4).— The Ps. invites the Israelites to be joyful, declares Yahweh is the only God and the Maker of all, and that He is specially the God of Israel.

Psalms 100:2 . Serve: offer sacrifice to (see Isaiah 19:21; Isaiah 19:23).

Psalms 100:3 . we are his: this suits the context better, but “ He hath made us,” i.e. made us what we are, viz. the people of redemption, is also a possible reading.
