Theological / Devotional

Gates … courts. Probably referring to the sanctuary, but by extension to all places where God is worshiped.

Thanksgiving. Probably the sacrifices of thanksgiving (see Ps. 96:8). The picture is that of grateful worshipers bringing their offerings of thanksgiving to the sanctuary.

Praise. “The melody of praise is the atmosphere of heaven; and when heaven comes in touch with the earth, there is music and song,—‘thanksgiving, and the voice of melody’” (cf. Isa. 51:3).

Name. See on Ps. 7:17.
