1 Chronicles 16:30-34
30 Tremble before e Him, all the earth ; Indeed , the world is firmly established , it will not be moved . 31 Let the heavens be glad , and let the earth rejoice ; And let them say among the nations , " The Lord reigns ." 32 Let the sea roar , and all it contains ; Let the field exult , and all that is in it. 33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before e the Lord ; For He is coming to judge the earth . 34 O give thanks to the Lord , for He is good ; For His lovingkindness is everlasting .

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:7-36
(Read 1 Chronicles 16:7-36)
Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of our joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily receive the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted. In the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the servants of God in distress.
