26 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
26 All the popular gods are stuff and nonsense, but God made the cosmos!
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.
26 The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:26
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.
