This phrase is a doxology, a short hymn of praises to God, which is common in the Hebrew Scriptures. The term "LORD" refers to Yahweh, the covenant name of God, emphasizing His personal relationship with Israel. The title "God of Israel" highlights His unique role as the deity who chose and established a covenant with the nation of Israel, setting them apart from other nations. The phrase "from everlasting to everlasting" underscores God's eternal nature, affirming His existence beyond time and space, a concept echoed in <a href="/psalms/90-2.htm">Psalm 90:2</a>. This eternal aspect of God is foundational to His unchanging nature and faithfulness, which is a source of comfort and assurance for believers.Then all the people said, “Amen!” The response of "Amen" by the people signifies agreement and affirmation. In Hebrew, "Amen" means "so be it" or "truly," and it is used throughout the Bible to express assent to prayers and declarations. This communal response indicates unity among the Israelites in their worship and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. It reflects a collective commitment to the covenant and a shared belief in the truths being proclaimed. The use of "Amen" is also seen in the New Testament, where it is used to affirm the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, showing continuity in worship practices.and “Praise the LORD!” The phrase "Praise the LORD" is a call to worship and adoration, often translated from the Hebrew "Hallelujah." This exclamation is a command to give glory to God, recognizing His majesty and deeds. It is a common refrain in the Psalms, such as <a href="/psalms/150.htm">Psalm 150</a>, which is entirely dedicated to praising God. This call to praise is not only an expression of gratitude but also an acknowledgment of God's rightful place as the object of worship. In the context of <a href="/1_chronicles/16.htm">1 Chronicles 16</a>, it follows the return of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem, a significant event symbolizing God's presence among His people. This phrase encourages believers to continually offer praise, reflecting the joy and reverence due to God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is praised and blessed in this verse.
