"'''Old Hundredth'''" (also known as "'''Old Hundred'''") is a [[hymn tune]] in [[long metre]], from the second edition of the [[Genevan Psalter]]. It is one of the best known melodies in many occidental [[Christian music|Christian]] musical traditions. The tune is usually attributed to the French composer [[Louis Bourgeois (composer)|Louis Bourgeois]] ({{circa|1510}}{{nbsp}}{{ndash}}{{nbsp}}c.{{nbsp}}1560).

Although the tune was first associated with [[Psalm 134]] in the [[Genevan Psalter]], the melody receives its current name from an association with the [[Psalm 100|''100th'' Psalm]], in a translation by [[William Kethe]] titled "'''All People that on Earth do Dwell'''". The melody is also sung to various other lyrics, including the [[Common Doxology]] ("'''Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow'''") and various German Lutheran chorales. In that latter respect it was used  by [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] as a [[cantus firmus]] in his chorale cantata [[Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir, BWV 130|''Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir'' (BWV 130)]].
