Psalm 100 is the 100th psalm in the Book of Psalms in the Tanakh.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. In English, it is translated as "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands" in the King James Version (KJV), and as "O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands" in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). Its Hebrew name is Template:Langx and it is subtitled a "Psalm of gratitude confession".[1] In the slightly different numbering system in the Greek Septuagint version of the Bible, and in the Latin Vulgate, this psalm is Psalm 99. In the Vulgate, it begins Jubilate Deo (alternatively: "Iubilate Domino"),[2] or Jubilate, which also became the title of the BCP version.

People who have translated the psalm range from Martin Luther to Catherine Parr, and translations have ranged from Parr's elaborate English that doubled many words, through metrical hymn forms, to attempts to render the meaning of the Hebrew as idiomatically as possible in a modern language (of the time). The psalm, being a hymn psalm, has been paraphrased in many hymns, such as "All people that on earth do dwell" in English, and "Nun jauchzt dem Herren, alle Welt" in German.

The psalm forms a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and other Protestant liturgies, and has been set to music many times over the centuries. Many composers have set it in Latin, and also in English, because the Jubilate is part of daily Morning Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer. It also features in Te Deum and Jubilate compositions, such as Handel's Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate. It has also been set in German by many composers, including Mendelssohn's Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt, and Reger's Der 100. Psalm. In Hebrew, it constitutes the bulk of the first movement of Bernstein's Chichester Psalms.

Text

The following table shows the Hebrew text[3][4] of the Psalm with vowels, alongside the Koine Greek text in the Septuagint[5] and the English translation from the King James Version. Note that the meaning can slightly differ between these versions, as the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text come from different textual traditions.[note 1] In the Septuagint, this psalm is numbered Psalm 99.

In the KJV, the Qere "and his we are" is recorded as marginalia; which was to become the translation used in the main body text by the time of the Revised Version.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

A different Latin form of the psalm is to be found in Elizabeth I of England's Preces Private of 1564, where it is numbered psalm 100.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Traditionally in the Roman Catholic Church, this psalm was chanted in abbeys during the celebration of matins on Fridays,[6][7] according to the schema of St. Benedict of Nursia.[8] As one of the most important psalms, Psalm 100 (99) was similarly sung for the solemn office of Lauds on Sunday.[9]

In the 1970 reform of the Liturgy of the Hours, Psalm 100 is one of four Invitatory psalms which can introduce the daily office hours. It is recited at Lauds on the Fridays of the first and third weeks of the four week cycle of liturgical prayers. Psalm 100 is also present among the readings of the office of the Mass: found on January 5 after the Octave of Christmas, and on the fourth Sunday of Eastertide. [citation needed] It also appears six times in Ordinary Time: Thursday of the 8th week, the Friday of the 22nd week, Tuesday and Friday of the 24th week, the Monday of the 29th week, and on Thursday of the 34th week of Ordinary Time.[citation needed]

Because of its text and its subject, this psalm is still one of the most important liturgical chants, during the celebration of the Jubilee every 25 years in Rome.[10] It is sung when the bishop opened the Door of Mercy.[11]

The Old English text in the Vespasian Psalter is not an idiomatic translation but a word for word substitution, an interlinear gloss, of the Vulgate Latin:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The Hebrew text of the psalm comprises 5 verses. Unusually for a Biblical poem, it solely comprises tricolons, verses 1 and 2 (a monocolon and a bicolon respectively) combining into a tricolon, and the remaining verses all being tricolons. (One scholar, Jan P. Fokkelman, dissents and takes verse 4 to be two bicolons.) It is usually divided into two strophes, verses 1–3 and verses 4–5.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The first two words Template:Langx are the title of the psalm, naming it a song for a specific thanksgiving sacrifice in Solomon's Temple made in order to fulfil a vow.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. This is recorded in Shevu'ot in the Babylonian Talmud, stating it to be sung "with harps and cymbals and music on every corner and every large boulder in Jerusalem".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Mediaeval commentator Rashi, who made the correspondence between Shevu'ot's "song of todah" and Psalm 100, stated that the psalm is to be said "upon the sacrifices of the todah", which was expanded upon by David Altschuler in the 18th century stating that it is to be recited "by the one bringing a korban todah for a miracle that happened to him".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The bracketed part of verse 3 is an instance of Qere and Ketiv in the Masoretic Text.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. In the body of the text is the Hebrew word Template:Langx meaning "not" whereas the marginalia has the substitute Template:Langx meaning "to him".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. One Kabbalistic explanation for the qere reading Template:Langx of the literal ketiv Template:Langx propounded by Asher ben David is that the Template:Langx (Aleph) represents God, and the ketiv is supposed to read "we are The Aleph's", in other words (given that God has already been mentioned, by two names, earlier in the verse) "we are his" per the qere.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

A less established thesis, first propounded in the 1960s (in Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.), is that the Ketiv text is an asseverative particle, connected to the following phrase and thus as a whole translated as "and indeed we are his people".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Whilst this avoids the problem of the Qere reading making the verse say the same thing twice, it has not gained wide scholarly acceptance. Professor David M. Howard Jr rejects it on constructionist grounds, as the syllabic imbalance in the colon lengths that it introduces outweighs for him what little variance in meaning it has from the Qere reading.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Although only Psalm 90 is directly attributed to Moses, it is conventional Jewish doctrine that Moses composed all of psalms 90 to 100, and this view is maintained by Rashi.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

In Jewish liturgy

The psalm occurs in several siddurim but it is unknown exactly how or when this specific thanksgiving became a part of the daily prayer,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. being recited as part of the Songs of thanksgiving (Pesukei dezimra).[12][13]

Psalm 100 is traditionally omitted, as mentioned by Rashi's student Simcha ben Samuel and discussed in detail by 14th century writer David ben Joseph ben David Abduraham, on Shabbat and festivals because the Thanksgiving offering was not offered on these days in the Temple.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Only communal offerings were brought on these days. It is also omitted by Ashkenazim on the day before Pesach and during Chol HaMoed Pesach because the Thanksgiving offering is composed of a loaf of bread, which is chametz that may not be consumed during Pesach, and the day before Yom Kippur because no food is consumed at all on Yom Kippur;[14][15] however, most Sephardic communities do recite it on these three occasions (but not on Shabbat of Festivals).

However, Amram Gaon did the opposite, omitting this psalm from the daily liturgy but including it in the morning prayer for Shabbat,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. and this is the practice in the Italian Nusach today.

Additionally, most Sephardic communities recite this Psalm as part of Kabbalat Shabbat.

Verse 2, "Ivdu es-Hashem b'simcha" (Serve the Lord with joy) is a popular inspirational song in Judaism.[16]

  1. O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands : serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.

Psalm 100 was one of the fixed psalms in the older Anglican liturgy for office of lauds on Sundays, and the Prayer Book translation given by Driver (with an added Gloria) is a part of the order of morning prayer in the Book of Common Prayer under the title Jubilate Deo, or just Jubilate.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Kethe

The melody for Loys Bourgeois's Old 100th with Kethe's translation, from a 1628 publication

William Kethe's translation is in long metre, and formed part of a collection of psalms translated into metrical form in English, the 1562 expanded 150-psalm edition of Thomas Sternhold's and John Hopkins's 1549 metrical psalter (Day's Psalter).Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. First appearing in Fourscore and Seven Psalms of David (the so-called Genevan Psalter) the year before,Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. it divides the verses in the same way as the Book of Common Prayer:

  1. All people that on earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice: him serve with fear, his praise forth tell, come ye before him and rejoice!
  2. The Lord, ye know, is God indeed, without our aid he did us make; we are his flock he doth us feed, and for his sheep he doth us take.
  3. O enter then his gates with praise, approach with joy his courts unto; praise, laud, and bless his Name always, for it is seemly so to do.
  4. For why? the Lord our God is good, his mercy is for ever sure; his truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.

Of all of the psalms in the Sternhold and Hopkins psalter, Kethe's translation is the most famous and lasting, it being a popular hymn usually set to the tune "Old 100th". Hannibal Hamlin, a professor of English, observes that it suffers from common ailments of strophic song settings, that the first verse fits a tune better than subsequent verses and that the phrasing has a tendency towards the convoluted. Hamlin holds up "him serve with fear", with an unusual object-verb-object ordering for the imperative in English (which would in colloquial English more usually be "serve him with fear"), followed by a similarly unusual word order in "his praise forth tell", as examples of the latter. The former is exemplified by the drawn-out end of the second line of the tune "Old 100th" fitting "cheerful voice" better than it does "courts unto" and "ever sure".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Biblical scholar J. Clinton McCann Jr characterises this translation of the psalm as "the banner hymn of the Reformed tradition", and observes that the psalm would have provided an excellent basis, better than that of the Book of Genesis, for the Westminster Confession of Faith's declaration of the primary purpose of humans being to glorify God.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Luther

Martin Luther translated the psalm into German, including the Hebrew title in the first verse (like Geddes) with the psalm under the title Der 100. Psalm:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

  1. Ein Dankpsalm. Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt.

  5. Denn der Herr ist freundlich, und seine Gnade währet ewig, und seine Wahrheit für und für.

Watts/Wesley

Hymnals sometimes attribute "Before Jehovah's awful throne", another translation of the psalm in hymn form common in Methodism, to Isaac Watts, but this is only partly true.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Watts translated Psalm 100 twice, to form a hymn comprising two parts that was first published in Psalms of David Imitated, the first subtitled "a plain translation", whose first verse was:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

  1. Ye nations of the Earth rejoice, Before the Lord your sovereign King; Serve him with cheerful heart and voice; With all your tongues his glory sing.

and the second subtitled "a paraphrase", whose first two verses (as later re-published) were:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

  2. Nations attend before his throne, With solemn fear and sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy.

The second verse of the paraphrase was a rewrite, Watts' original in the 1706 Horae Lyricae reading:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

  1. With gladness bow before his throne, And let his presence raise your joys, Know that the Lord is God alone, And form'd our Souls, and fram'd our voice.

No version of Watts contained the line about the "awful throne". That was a revision by John Wesley for his 1737 Collection of Psalms and Hymns, who discarded Watts' first verse of part 2 entirely, and rewrote its now-first verse (that verse's second rewrite) to include the line by which it is known:Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

Translation notes

As aforementioned, verse 3 contains an instance of Qere and Ketiv in the Masoretic Text. The KJV translation "and not we ourselves" is based upon the ketiv, and agrees with the Septuagint and Vulgate translations; the New American Standard Bible and the Darby Bible also agreeing. More modern translations such as those of the New International Version and the English Standard Version are based upon the qere, and read "and we are his".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Geddes opined in a footnote to his translation that the KJV/Septuagint translation is "totally inadmissable".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Wilhelm Martin Leberecht de Wette, in his German translation of the Psalm, likewise gave the translation "und sein sind wir", noting that the ketiv translation "und nicht wir" (as given by Luther) is "ganz unschicklich".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The historicist argument in support of following the qere over the ketiv is that the ketiv simply makes no sense in context. There was simply no contemporary Biblical world view in which people believed that they created themselves. It is bolstered by a constructionist argument that the structure of the psalm is better taking the qere reading, as in that way each part of the second half of the verse contains a pronoun or possessive suffix referencing the names of God in the first half.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Robert Lowth, writing in James Merrick's 1768 Annotations on the Psalms, said that "I am persuaded that the Masoretical correction [...] is right: the construction and parallelism both favour it."Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The Old English metrical form of Psalm 100, associated with the Paris Psalter, similarly gives "we his syndon" ("we belong to him"). Scholarship on this rests on the 19th century Ph.D. thesis of Helen Bartlett.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. Bartlett, like the parallel Old-English and Latin psalters of earlier in the 19th century (e.g. Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.), only compares the Old English translation with the Vulgate Latin (also using the Vulgate numbering), not with the Latin of Jerome, and ascribes "we his syndon" to a mistranslation of the Vulgate "et non ipsi nos" that overlooks "non" and misconstrues a dative, rather than to Jerome's "et ipsius sumus".Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The Jubilate or Jubilate Deo in English is part of the daily Anglican morning liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer, and has been set to music by many composers. Henry Purcell included it in his Te Deum and Jubilate, and George Frideric Handel in his Utrecht Te Deum and Jubilate; both composers took the approach of one movement for each verse, Handel splitting the BCP verse 1 back into its constituent two original Hebrew verses, with one movement each.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

In German

The hymn "Nun jauchzt dem Herren, alle Welt" is a 1646 paraphrase of Psalm 100 by David Denicke.

Heinrich Schütz set Psalm 100 to music several times, first as part of his Psalmen Davids of polychoral psalms in German, published in 1619, Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt, SVW 36, set for double choir with echo effects. He wrote a setting of a metred paraphrase of the psalm, "Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt", SWV 198, for the Becker Psalter, published first in 1628. Finally, he composed a setting as part of his Opus Ultimum, the motet (SWV 493) being the first that he composed of the 13 motets in that work for the re-consecration of the Dresden church after its renovation on 28 September 1662. It was believed lost until it was reconstructed in 1981 by Wolfram Steude.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. A pasticcio motet Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt was composed by Georg Philipp Telemann or Johann Sebastian Bach, and Gottlob Harrer:[17] The text of the first movement of Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Script error: No such module "Lang"., is a paraphrase of the psalm.

Felix Mendelssohn set the psalm to music for eight voices as Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Welt, composed in 1844 (and published posthumously in 1855) as well as for eight voices again in the second movement of his Three Motets, Opus 69; the last sacred work he completed in 1847, the year of his death.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.[18] Max Reger entitled his 1906 setting of Luther's translation, a choral symphony, Der 100.
