30 Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
30 tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
30 God is serious business, take him seriously; he's put the earth in place and it's not moving.
30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.
30 Let all the earth tremble before him. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:30
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.
