1Ch 16:9 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!
1Ch 16:10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
1Ch 16:11 Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!
1Ch 16:12 Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles and the judgments he uttered,
1Ch 16:13 O offspring of Israel his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!
1Ch 16:14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
1Ch 16:15 Remember his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
The occasion was placing the Ark of the Covenant in the tent made for it in Jerualem. Jerusalem would become the holy city of David, the place of the Ark of the Covenant. There was thanksgiving and praise to the God of Israel.
1Ch 16:5 Asaph was the chief, (among the Levites)... who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
1Ch 16:6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
Let our thanks be not only solemn and deliberate, but may they be from the heart with music and instruments of praise. We especially need to praise God in difficult times when we are feeling less than joyful. We have much to be thankful for, especially in the presence of our LORD. He is in our heartfelt praises.
Psa 150:1 Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens!
Psa 150:2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Psa 150:3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!
Psa 150:4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
Psa 150:5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Psa 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
