The use of "LORD" in all caps signifies the divine name YHWH, highlighting God's eternal and unchanging nature. This covenantal name was revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, establishing a personal relationship with Israel. The phrase "our God" indicates a collective identity and belonging, reminding the Israelites of their unique position as God's chosen people (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6</a>). This relationship is foundational to the identity and faith of Israel, and it is echoed throughout the Old Testament, reinforcing the idea of God as both a personal and national deity.<p><b>His judgments carry throughout the earth.</b><br>This part of the verse speaks to the universal sovereignty and justice of God. The term "judgments" refers to God's decrees, laws, and decisions, which are not limited to Israel but extend to all nations. This reflects the biblical theme of God's authority over the entire world, as seen in <a href="/psalms/96-10.htm">Psalm 96:10</a>, which declares that God will judge the peoples with equity. The phrase underscores the belief that God's moral order is universal, and His justice is impartial and all-encompassing. It also foreshadows the eschatological hope found in the New Testament, where Christ's return will bring final judgment and restoration to the earth (<a href="/revelation/20-11.htm">Revelation 20:11-15</a>). This global perspective on God's judgments serves as a reminder of His ultimate control and the accountability of all nations to His divine law.<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 led the people in worship and thanksgiving to God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israel.htm">Israel</a></b><br>The nation chosen by God, to whom David is addressing in this song of thanksgiving.<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 and where David established it as the center of worship.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/a/asaph_and_his_brothers.htm">Asaph and his brothers</a></b><br>Levites appointed by David to minister before the Ark and to give thanks and praise to the LORD.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/acknowledging_god's_sovereignty.htm">Acknowledging God's Sovereignty</a></b><br>Recognize that God is the ultimate authority over all the earth, and His judgments are just and righteous.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/global_impact_of_god's_judgments.htm">Global Impact of God's Judgments</a></b><br>Understand that God's judgments are not limited to Israel but extend to all nations, emphasizing His universal reign.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/living_in_light_of_god's_judgments.htm">Living in Light of God's Judgments</a></b><br>Live with the awareness that our actions are accountable to God, who judges with perfect justice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/w/worship_and_thanksgiving.htm">Worship and Thanksgiving</a></b><br>Follow David's example by incorporating worship and thanksgiving into our daily lives, acknowledging God's presence and sovereignty.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_justice.htm">Trust in God's Justice</a></b><br>In times of injustice or uncertainty, trust that God's judgments are fair and will ultimately prevail.<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/is_uzziah's_leprosy_in_2_chron._26_16-20_explainable.htm">In 2 Chronicles 26:16-20, is there any medical or historical basis to explain Uzziah's sudden outbreak of leprosy as divine punishment?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_god_ignore_pleas_in_jer_14_7-9.htm">Jeremiah 14:7-9: How can a merciful God seemingly ignore the desperate pleas of His people in these verses?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_isaiah_28_21-22_question_divine_justice.htm">In Isaiah 28:21-22, does the notion of God performing a 'strange work' and bringing swift judgment raise questions about the consistency of divine justice elsewhere in the Bible?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/purpose_of_the_book_of_remembrance.htm">What is the purpose of the Book of Remembrance?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/1_chronicles/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) The grand thought of Israel that, though Jehovah is their God, He is not theirs exclusively: He governs the wide world.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_chronicles/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 14-22.</span> - These verses rehearse the ancient and blissful covenant which had made Israel so to differ.
