A Psalm of praise.Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.Psalm 100:1 · King James Version

What Psalm 100:1 means

Noise is the word, and it is a command. No instrument is specified and no standard is set. All ye lands widens it past Israel to everybody. For anyone who has ever been told they cannot sing, this verse settles whether that matters.

Commentary

Here, I. The exhortations to praise are very importunate. The psalm does indeed answer to the title, A psalm of praise; it begins with that call which of late we have several times met with (Psa 100:1), Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all you lands, or all the earth, all the inhabitants of the earth.

— Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on verses 1-5
