劝民赞美耶和华

100 称谢诗。

普天下当向耶和华欢呼!
你们当乐意侍奉耶和华,当来向他歌唱!
你们当晓得耶和华是神,我们是他造的,也是属他的,我们是他的民,也是他草场的羊。

因为耶和华本为善,他的慈爱存到永远,他的信实直到万代。

  2. Psalm 100:2 tn Or “serve.”
  3. Psalm 100:3 tn The present translation (like most modern translations) follows the Qere (marginal reading), which reads literally, “and to him [are] we.” The Kethib (consonantal text) has “and not we.” The suffixed preposition לוֹ (lo, “to him”) was confused aurally with the negative particle לֹא (loʾ, “not”) because the two sound identical.
  4. Psalm 100:5 tn Or “is forever.”
  5. Psalm 100:5 tn Heb “and to a generation and a generation [is] his faithfulness.”
