1 Crônicas 16

Spurgeon: Of old, worship was cumbered with ceremonial, and men gathered around one dedicated building, whose solemn pomp was emblematic of the beauty of holiness; but now our worship is spiritual, and the architecture of the house and the garments of the worshippers are matters of no importance; the spiritual beauty of inward purity and outward holiness being far more precious in the eyes of our thrice holy God. O for grace ever to worship with holy motives and in a holy manner, as becometh saints! 1 Chronicles 16:30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. before him (KJV): 1Ch 16:23,25 Ps 96:9 Rev 11:15 stable (KJV): Ps 33:9 93:1 148:5,6 Isa 49:8 Jer 10:12 Col 1:17 Heb 1:3 Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. 1 Chronicles 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."

BSB - When the universal recognition of the greatness of the Lord bursts forth in praise and worship (vv. 23-30; cf.

Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. Blessed (KJV): 1Ki 8:15,56 Ps 72:18,19 106:48 Eph 1:3 1Pe 1:3 said (KJV): De 27:15-26 Ne 8:6 Jer 28:6 1Co 14:16 Blessed (barak; Lxx - eulogeo) be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. Amen (0543) amen (from aman = to be firm, dependable, durable, steady, stable, sure, established, trustworthy) and was used to acknowledge and emphasize what was valid, sure and true, or important and significant. Amen means "firmness" (and thus "true") and is derived from the Hebrew verb that means "to believe." See note on Gen. 15:6. Amen is "A common biblical expression signifying certainty and veracity." (MacArthur) When Abram believed (aman) God in Genesis 15:6, in a sense he gave a heart felt "amen" to God's promise in Genesis 15:5. He said in essence God's promise "is dependable and trustworthy"! Have you ever shouted "amen" after reading or hearing a promise from the faithful, non-lying God? It is a good practice while we are still on earth for what will surely be our privileged practice in our heavenly home! As noted amen is derived from aman which can also mean "believe" or "faithful" and thus came to mean "sure" or truly," an expression of absolute trust and confidence. When one believes God, he indicates his faith by an amen. When God makes a promise, the believer’s response is amen or "so it will be!" Webster on "amen" - used to express solemn ratification (as of an expression of faith) or hearty approval (as of an assertion). As a verb, it signifies to confirm, establish, verify; to trust, or give confidence; as a noun, truth, firmness, trust, confidence; as an adjective, firm, stable. In English, after the oriental manner, it is used at the beginning, but more generally at the end of declarations and prayers, in the sense of, be it firm, be it established. Anecdotal Story Regarding Daniel Webster... On the night of Daniel Webster’s death at Marshfield, October 24, 1852, his physician, Dr. Jeffries, knowing Mr. Webster’s religious faith, suggested that he should read to him one of his favorite hymns. Mr. Webster having intimated his consent, Dr. Jeffries read Cowper’s hymn, beginning. There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins. He read on till he had finished the last stanza: Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave. Then, although his tongue was one of the least feeble and stammering of human tongues, Webster in a clear, strong voice replied. “Amen! Amen! Amen!” (Encyclopedia of 7700 Illustrations: Signs of the Times) Spurgeon in comments on Ps 12:6 aptly remarks that "Man's words are yea and nay, but the Lord's promises are yea and amen." Indeed they are and on that steadfast truth we can rest eternally secure ( in Christ) and can be eternally grateful. Amen! Note amen occurs after the doxologies which end each of first four books of the Psalms - Ps 41:13; Ps 72:19; Ps 89:52; Ps 106:48 end with an "amen". Adam
