1 100:2 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. 2 100:3 tn: Or “serve.” 3 100:5 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 לו (“to him”) was confused aurally with the negative particle לא because the two sound identical. 4 100:5 tn: Or “is forever.” 5 100:5 tn: Heb “and to a generation and a generation [is] his faithfulness.”
