I Chronicles 16-18

“Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always” (16:10-11). King David brought the ark into Jerusalem and set it up in the tabernacle (there was no Temple yet), and he instructed the Levites to lead continual worship to the Lord there. They were to “extol, thank, and praise” the Lord by remembering what he had done for Israel (16:19-22). Singing, the people joined in worship with the heavens, sea, fields, and trees, and “all the families of nations” (16:28-33).

Worshiping, Israel remembered God was their Rescuer. “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name” (16:35).
