The term "tremble" suggests a deep respect and recognition of God's majesty and power. In the biblical context, this is a call to worship and acknowledge God's sovereignty over all creation. The phrase "all the earth" emphasizes the inclusivity of this call, indicating that every nation and people are subject to God's authority. This echoes the sentiment found in <a href="/psalms/96-9.htm">Psalm 96:9</a>, which also calls for worship in the beauty of holiness and for the earth to tremble before the Lord. The idea of trembling before God is consistent with the biblical theme of the fear of the Lord, which is the beginning of wisdom (<a href="/proverbs/9-10.htm">Proverbs 9:10</a>). It reflects a recognition of God's holiness and the appropriate human response to His divine presence.<p><b>The world is firmly established;</b><br>This phrase speaks to the stability and order of creation as ordained by God. The world being "firmly established" suggests that it is set on a secure foundation, reflecting God's intentional design and purpose. This is consistent with the creation narrative in Genesis, where God creates the world with order and structure. Theologically, this affirms God's ongoing sovereignty and control over the universe. It also connects to the idea of God's covenant faithfulness, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/119-90.htm">Psalm 119:90</a>, which states that God's faithfulness continues through all generations and that He established the earth, and it stands firm. This assurance of stability is a source of comfort and confidence for believers, knowing that God's creation is not subject to chaos or randomness.<p><b>It cannot be moved.</b><br>The phrase "it cannot be moved" underscores the permanence and unchangeability of God's creation. This reflects the biblical understanding of God's immutability—His unchanging nature and eternal consistency. In a world where change and uncertainty are constant, this assurance of stability is significant. It aligns with passages like <a href="/psalms/104-5.htm">Psalm 104:5</a>, which declares that God set the earth on its foundations so that it should never be moved. This immovability also points to the reliability of God's promises and His ultimate plan for creation. In a prophetic sense, it foreshadows the coming of God's eternal kingdom, which will be unshakable and everlasting, as described in <a href="/hebrews/12-28.htm">Hebrews 12:28</a>. This phrase reassures believers of the enduring nature of God's rule and the ultimate fulfillment of His purposes.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The king of Israel who organized the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and appointed Asaph and his brothers to minister before the Ark.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/asaph.htm">Asaph</a></b><br>A Levite appointed by David to lead worship and thanksgiving before the Ark of the Covenant.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/ark_of_the_covenant.htm">Ark of the Covenant</a></b><br>The sacred chest that held the tablets of the Ten Commandments, representing God's presence with His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The city where the Ark was brought, signifying the central place of worship for Israel.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation chosen by God, witnessing the establishment of worship practices under King David's leadership.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/r/reverence_for_god.htm">Reverence for God</a></b><br>We are called to approach God with a sense of awe and respect, recognizing His majesty and authority over all creation.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty.htm">God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>The verse reminds us of God's unchanging nature and His control over the universe, providing us with a foundation of trust and security.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/stability_in_god's_creation.htm">Stability in God's Creation</a></b><br>The world being "firmly established" assures us of God's order and purpose, encouraging us to find peace in His divine plan.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_as_a_response.htm">Worship as a Response</a></b><br>Our response to God's greatness should be worship and thanksgiving, acknowledging His rightful place in our lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_in_awe.htm">Living in Awe</a></b><br>Practically, living in awe of God means aligning our lives with His will, seeking to honor Him in our daily actions and decisions.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_1_chronicles_16.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 1 Chronicles 16</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_the_bible_say_earth_is_still.htm">Why does the Bible suggest that the Earth is immovable when we know it orbits the Sun?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_do_we_need_a_savior.htm">Is reality governed by predestination or free will?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_bible_and_physics_views_clash.htm">How do biblical descriptions of Earth’s foundation contradict planetary physics?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_hyper-calvinism.htm">What defines Hyper-Calvinism?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/16-30.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">tremble</span><br /><span class="heb">חִ֤ילוּ</span> <span class="translit">(ḥî·lū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
