8 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
8 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
8 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!
8 Thank God! Call out his Name! Tell the whole world who he is and what he's done!
8 Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
8 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:8
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.
