Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving - Publicly worship God; and when ye come to the house of prayer, be thankful that you have such a privilege; and when you enter his courts, praise him for the permission.
The word bethodah , which we render with thanksgiving, is properly with the confession-offering or sacrifice. See on Psalms 100:1-5 (note).
Bless his name - Bless Jehovah, that he is your Elohim; see Psalms 100:3. In our liturgic service we say, "Speak good of his name;" we cannot do otherwise; we have nothing but good to speak of our God.
