The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 100:4

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. The mention of" gates" and" courts" points primarily to the temple worship, but the reference may be, as Professor Alexander suggests, "typical or metaphorical" rather than literal, and may extend to all the faithful and to all places of worship.

Be thankful unto him; or, give thanks unto him (Revised Version). And bless his Name (comp. Psalms 96:2; Psalms 145:21).
