Footnotes

  1. Psalm 100:1 sn Psalm 100. The psalmist celebrates the fact that Israel has a special relationship to God and summons worshipers to praise the Lord for his faithfulness.
  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.”
