The use of "our God" reflects the communal faith of Israel, as seen throughout the Old Testament, where God is often referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This phrase also highlights the monotheistic belief central to Israelite worship, distinguishing their faith from the polytheistic practices of surrounding nations.<p><b>we give You thanks</b><br>Thanksgiving is a recurring theme in the Bible, reflecting an attitude of gratitude towards God for His provision and faithfulness. In the context of <a href="/1_chronicles/29.htm">1 Chronicles 29</a>, David is leading the people in giving thanks for the resources gathered for the construction of the Temple. This act of thanksgiving is not only for material blessings but also for God's continued presence and guidance. The practice of giving thanks is echoed in the New Testament, such as in <a href="/1_thessalonians/5-18.htm">1 Thessalonians 5:18</a>, where believers are encouraged to give thanks in all circumstances.<p><b>and we praise Your glorious name</b><br>Praising God's name is an act of worship that acknowledges His holiness, majesty, and the revelation of His character. In ancient Israel, a name was more than a label; it represented the essence and authority of a person. God's name is often associated with His deeds and attributes, as seen in <a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6-7</a>, where God proclaims His name and character to Moses. The phrase "glorious name" underscores the splendor and honor due to God, a theme that resonates throughout the Psalms and is fulfilled in the New Testament through the person of Jesus Christ, who is given the name above all names (<a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel who is leading the people in worship and thanksgiving to God.
