“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.” (Psalm 100:4-5, NKJV)

Psalm 100 is a call to paise the Lord. Verses 4-5 is a call to praise followed by a declaration of why the Lord is worthy of praise – his lovingkindness-and-faithfulness are unfailing through all time.

People of all the world are to worship God gladly, acknowledging him as their God, their maker and their shepherd. They are invited to come into his temple, where they can unite in thankfully praising him for his loving faithfulness.

The Lord is good. he is not just a being of mere power, he is not merely the Creator; but he is good-hearted, and is, therefore, worthy of universal praise. He is the God of truth and his truth endures means that in all generations he shows himself to be faithful to his promises.
