1 Chronicles 6: 34-36
Oh, give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth forever. And say ye, "Save us, O GOD of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathens, that we may give thanks to Thy holy Name, and glory in Thy praise. Blessed be the LORD GOD of Israel forever and ever." and all the people said, "AMEN, and praise the LORD."
This psalm, verses 8-36 of 1 Chronicles, was written by David. It was delivered to Asaph as a Psalm of praise to the LORD GOD, when the Ark of the Covenant was placed in the tent that David had ordered made for the LORD, in Jerusalem. This Psalm was accompanied by instruments and singers who were prepared by Asaph, the musician.
High Praise was offered as a Thanksgiving for the goodness and mercy of GOD.
Notice the progression of this portion of the Psalm. 1. Thanksgiving; 2. Petition; 3. Blessing; and 4. Agreement.
First, David gives thanks to the LORD for who He is. Then there is the request for salvation, uniting and deliverance from the enemy, so that their life would be thanksgiving and praise to the Holy Name. After giving thanks and asking GOD for His Blessing, David blesses the LORD GOD and the people shout their agreement.
Praise opened the door so that humankind was able to BLESS GOD. Have you ever thought that you could be the instrument of giving GOD a blessing? We tend to think that we receive a Blessing from GOD, but do we realize that we have the open door to bless Him, and lavish praise upon Him.
Who is more deserving of praise and blessing than GOD? Who is more wonderful, beautiful, merciful and good than GOD? When we praise HIM for all that He has done for us; when we praise HIM for His unconditional love and mercy; when, from the heart, we sing praises to His Holy Name; the door of love opens wide and we receive from Him the awesome favor from His Hand and are united to Him in love.
LET EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE YE THE LORD.
