1 Chronicles 16:32 Summary
[1 Chronicles 16:32 is a call to all of creation to praise and worship God, including the oceans, fields, and everything in them. This verse reminds us that God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and that He is worthy of our praise and adoration (Psalm 96:11, Psalm 98:7-8).

By doing so, we can cultivate a deeper sense of awe and wonder at God's creation, and let that inspire our worship and praise.]

Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:32
(4-42) THE OF A FOR THE ARK. THE ODE SUNG ON THE DAY OF . This entire section is peculiar to the Chronicle. 1 Chronicles 16:43 is almost identical with 2 Samuel 6:19-20. Compared, then, with the older text, this relation of the chronicler’s looks like a parenthesis interpolated from another source into the history, as narrated in 2 Samuel 6:12-20.
