Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:2

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:1-6

(Read 1 Chronicles 16:1-6)

Though God's word and ordinances may be clouded and eclipsed for a time, they shall shine out of obscurity. This was but a tent, a humble dwelling, yet this was the tabernacle which David, in his psalms, often speaks of with so much affection. David showed himself generous to his subjects, as he had found God gracious to him. Those whose hearts are enlarged with holy joy, should show it by being open-handed.
