The last line reminded me of Jesus' response to the rich ruler in Luke 18:19; "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." Verse 5 of psalm 100 gives us two characteristic that make up God's goodness. He demonstrates an enduring love. It is one thing to be able to process eternal love. I think the Bible makes it quite clear that God not only possesses an eternal love he demonstrates it to his people. We could easily argue that for a time he will demonstrate that love to those who reject him as well. The second trait the paslmist mentions is God's faithfulness that spans generations. Since the demarcation of that fidelity is the descendants of people it would be safe to assume that he demonstrates his faithfulness on par with his love. I think that these are only two of the traits that make him a good God.
