This act of blessing the LORD is a form of praise and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness. The assembly refers to the gathered Israelites, emphasizing communal worship. This moment occurs during the preparation for the building of the Temple, highlighting the importance of collective dedication to God. David's public blessing sets a precedent for leaders to openly express their faith and gratitude to God.and said: “May You be blessed, O LORD, David's blessing of the LORD is a declaration of God's worthiness to be praised. The use of "LORD" (YHWH) signifies the covenantal name of God, reminding the assembly of God's faithfulness and promises to Israel. This phrase reflects a deep reverence and acknowledgment of God's supreme authority and benevolence. It is a call to recognize God's active role in the life of the nation and individuals.God of our father Israel, By referring to God as the "God of our father Israel," David connects the present generation to the patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. This establishes a continuity of faith and God's ongoing relationship with His chosen people. It underscores the idea that the same God who was with the patriarchs is with them now, providing a sense of historical and spiritual identity. This connection to the patriarchs is a common theme in Scripture, reinforcing the idea of God's unchanging nature and promises.from everlasting to everlasting. This phrase emphasizes God's eternal nature, highlighting His existence beyond time and human understanding. It reflects the biblical theme of God's unchanging and eternal character, as seen in other scriptures like <a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a>. This eternal perspective provides assurance of God's perpetual sovereignty and faithfulness. It also points to the eternal kingdom of God, which is a central theme in biblical prophecy and the hope of believers. The concept of God's everlasting nature is foundational to understanding His divine attributes and the eternal nature of His promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a> The King of Israel who is leading the assembly in blessing the LORD.

David thanks God because his people are at one with him on the subject nearest his heart. Touching this fine utterance of a true inspiration, which the chronicler--or rather, perhaps, his authority--puts into the mouth of the aged king, we may remark that the spirit which found expression in the stirring odes of psalmists and the trumpet-tones of prophets in olden times, in the latter days, when psalmody was weak and prophecy dead, flowed forth in the new outlet of impassioned prayer.Before all.--To the eyes of all (<a href="/genesis/23-11.htm" title="No, my lord, hear me: the field give I you, and the cave that is therein, I give it you; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it you: bury your dead.">Genesis 23:11</a>), and frequently.Lord God of Israel our rather.--The connection is "Israel our father," not "Jehovah our father."

It includes adoration, acknowledgment of the inherent nature of human dependence, self-humiliation, and confession, dedication of all the offerings, and prayer both for the whole people in general, and for Solomon in particular, in view of his future position and responsibilities. Its utter repudiation of all idea of meritoriousness is very striking. The traces are visible of what may be called snatches of memory on the part of David from various religious odes of his own authorship, as well as from those of others still on record, as, for instance, especially in vers. 14-17, compared with passages in <a href="/psalms/24.htm">Psalm 24</a>; <a href="/psalms/50.htm">Psalm 50</a>; <a href="/psalms/89.htm">Psalm 89, </a>; <a href="/psalms/39.htm">Psalm 39</a>; <a href="/psalms/90.htm">Psalm 90</a>; <a href="/psalms/102.htm">Psalm 102</a>; <a href="/psalms/144.htm">Psalm 144</a>; <a href="/psalms/7.htm">Psalm 7</a>; <a href="/psalms/17.htm">Psalm 17</a>; and 139. But the unity of this service is abundantly conspicuous, and every sentence seems weighed and measured for the occasion. The scene, reaching its climax in what is recorded in ver. 20, must have been one of the utmost religious grandeur and impressiveness. It is true that the very last clause, which couples the reverence done on the part of the assembled multitude to the king, with that done to Jehovah himself, strikes us as an unfortunate conjunction. It does not, indeed, need upon its merits any vindication, considering the tenor of all which has preceded; but it may be felt an extenuation of the form in which the expression occurs, if we suppose (as we justly may) that the people viewed their act in the light of part of their religious service at that particular time.
