Morris - Portions of this psalm of thanksgiving have been included in the collections in the Book of Psalms. 1 Chronicles 16:8-22 are repeated in Psalm 105:1-15; 1 Chronicles 16:23-33 are also found in Psalm 96:1-13; and 1 Chronicles 16:34-36 are included in Psalm 106:1,47,48. Give thanks (praise, confess) (03034) yadah primarily means to acknowledge or confess sin (Lev 5:5, Lev 16:21 on the Day of Atonement, Lev 26:40, Nu 5:7, 1Ki 8:33, 35), God's character and works, or man's character. Yadah is also frequently rendered "praise" (1Chr 16:4) or "give thanks." (2Sa 22:50 - partially quoted in Ro 15:9; 1Chr 16:7, 8, 34, 35, 41, 23:30, 25:3, 29:13, Ps 7:17) At first glance, the meanings may appear unrelated. But upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that each sense profoundly illumines and interprets the other. Yadah overlaps in meaning with a number of other Hebrew words implying "praise," such as halal (whence halleluyah). In Ge 29:35 (cp Ge 49:8) we see the name Judah (Yehudah) which is derived from yadah (Judah means "Praise Yahweh"). How wonderful that Jesus will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, for He alone is the grounds and reason for any and all true praise! (Rev 5:5) (Wikipedia article on Judah) Swanson - 1. (hif) express praise, extol, i.e., make a public confession of the attributes and acts of power of a person (2Sa 22:50), (hitp) (2Ch 30:22) note: there is a focus on the content of praise, spoken out-loud, usually in the context of the community; 2. (hif) give thanks, i.e., give an expression of praise for a person, with a particular focus on the subject being engaged in the expression of thanks or praise (1Ch 29:13); 3. (hif) confess, make an admission, i.e., to publicly admit to something, usually a wrong of some kind (Ps 32:5; Pr 28:13); (hitp) (Lev 5:5; Da 9:4) (A Dictionary of Biblical Languages w- Semantic Domains- Hebrew) G Campbell

Morris - The term "a thousand generations" is not meant as a quantitative summary of the number of years to be covered by the Abrahamic covenant but rather as poetic hyperbole, corresponding actually to "an everlasting covenant" (1 Chronicles 16:17). From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:8 (Note Ps 105:8 has God remembering His covenant forever, while 1Ch 16:15 has Israel charged to remember His covenant forever.) He hath remembered his covenant forever. Here is the basis of all his dealings with his people: he had entered into covenant with them in their father Abraham, and to this covenant he remained faithful. The exhortation to remember (Ps 105:5) receives great force from the fact that God has remembered. If the Lord has his promise in memory surely we ought not to forget the wonderful manner in which he keeps it. To us it should be matter for deepest joy that never in any instance has the Lord been unmindful of his covenant engagements, nor will he be so world without end. O that we were as mindful of them as he is. The word which he commanded to a thousand generations. This is only an amplification of the former statement, and serves to set before us the immutable fidelity of the Lord during the changing generations of men. His judgments are threatened upon the third and fourth generations of them that hate him, but his love runs on for ever, even to "a thousand generations." His promise is here said to be commanded, or vested with all the authority of a law. It is a proclamation from a sovereign, the firman of an Emperor whose laws shall stand fast in every jot and tittle though heaven and earth shall pass away. Therefore let us give thanks unto the Lord and talk of all his wondrous works, so wonderful for their faithfulness and truth. 1 Chronicles 16:16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. which he made: Ge 12:2, 3; 15:18-21; Ge 17:2, 7-8; Ge 26:3, 24-25, Ge 35:11. Ex 3:15 Ne 9:8 Lu 1:72,73 Ac 3:25 Ga 3:15-17 Heb 6:13-18 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham. When the victims were divided and the burning lamp passed between the pieces (Gen. 15:9-12+) then the Lord made, or ratified, the covenant with the patriarch. This was a solemn deed, performed not without blood, and the cutting in pieces of the sacrifice; it points us to the greater covenant which in Christ Jesus is signed, sealed, and ratified, that it may stand fast forever and ever. And his oath unto Isaac. Isaac did not in vision see the solemn making of the covenant, but the Lord renewed unto him his oath (Ge 26:2-5). This was enough for him, and must have established his faith in the Most High. We have the privilege of seeing in our Lord Jesus both the sacrificial seal, and the eternal oath of God, by which every promise of the covenant is made yea and amen to all the chosen seed.

Israel, not the church. The church is not Israel and Israel is not the church. They are separate and distinct in God's Word, in marked contrast with what the replacement theology or supersessionism teaches. See related discussion of the Israel of God. And what are the promises TO ISRAEL in the Abrahamic Covenant? Read the next verse! From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law. Jacob in his wondrous dream (Ge 28:10-15) received a pledge that the Lord's mode of procedure with him would be in accordance with covenant relations: for said Jehovah, "I will not leave thee till I have done that which I have spoken to thee of." Thus, if we may so speak with all reverence, the covenant became a law unto the Lord himself by which he bound himself to act. O matchless condescension, that the most free and sovereign Lord should put himself under covenant bonds to Iris chosen, and make a law for himself, though he is above all law. And to Israel for an everlasting covenant. When he changed Jacob's name he did not change his covenant, but it is written, "he blessed him there" (Ge 32:29), and it was with the old blessing, according to the unchangeable word of abiding grace. 1 Chronicles 16:18 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance." Unto thee (KJV): Ge 12:7 13:15 17:8 28:13,14 35:11,12 lot (KJV): Heb. cord, Mic 2:5 inheritance (KJV): Nu 26:53-56 De 32:8 Related Passage: Genesis 35:9-12 Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him. 10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name.” Thus He called him Israel. 11 God also said to him, “I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you. 12 “The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, And I will give the land to your descendants after you.” ABRAHAMIC COVENANT PROMISES ISRAEL THE LAND FOREVER! Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance - First note that God owns it all. Israel is His land. He can give it to whomever He desires. And in His sovereignty and wisdom, He has given this land to Israel and it is to be their everlasting possession. They did not earn it or merit it and even today (2023) in one sense they do not deserve to possess it given the fact that the majority of people in Israel are not true Jews in the Pauline sense of Romans 2:28-29+ where he writes "he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart (see circumcision of the heart), by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God." And yet God in His abundant, everlasting lovingkindness and deemed it appropriate to bring the Jews back to the promised land even in their state of the majority not believing in the Messiah. From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance. This repetition of the great covenant promise is recorded in Ge 35:9-12 in connection with the change of Jacob's name, and very soon after that slaughter of the Shechemites, which had put the patriarch into such great alarm and caused him to use language almost identical with that of the next verse. When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me, and I shall be destroyed, and my house." Thus the fears of the man of God declared themselves, and they were reasonable if we look only at the circumstances in which he was placed, but they are soon seen to be groundless when we remember that the covenant promise, which guaranteed the possession of the land, necessarily implied the preservation of the race to whom the promise was made. (NOTE: HERE IS SEEMS THAT SPURGEON BELIEVES THAT ISRAEL IS ISRAEL!) We often fear where no fear is. The blessings promised to the seed of Abraham were not dependent upon the number of his descendants, or their position in this world. The covenant was made with one man, and consequently the number could never be less, and that one man was not the owner of a foot of soil in all the land, save only a cave in which to bury his dead, and therefore his seed could not have less inheritance than he. The smallness of a church, and the poverty of its members, are no barriers to the divine blessing, if it be sought earnestly by pleading the promise. Were not the apostles few, and the disciples feeble, when the good work began? Neither because we are strangers and foreigners here below, as our fathers were, are we in any the more danger: we are like sheep in the midst of wolves, but the wolves cannot hurt us, for our shepherd is near. 1 Chronicles 16:19 When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, but few (KJV): Heb. but men of number a few (KJV): Ge 34:30 Ac 7:5 Heb 11:13 When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:12 When they were but a few men in number. bpom ytm. Literally, "homines numeri", men of number; so few as easily to be numbered: in opposition to what their posterity afterwards were, as the sand of the sea, without number. Samuel Chandler. 1 Chronicles 16:20 And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, they went (KJV): Ge 12:10 20:1 46:3,6 And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:13 When they went from one nation, to another, from one Kingdom to another people. Migrating as the patriarchs did from the region of one tribe to the country of another they were singularly preserved. The little wandering family might have been cut off root and branch had not a special mandate been issued from the throne for their protection. It was not the gentleness of their neighbours which screened them; they were hedged about by the mysterious guardianship of heaven. Whether in Egypt, or in Philistia, or in Canaan, the heirs of the promises, dwelling in their tents, were always secure. 1 Chronicles 16:21 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying, He suffered (KJV): Ge 31:24,29,42 he reproved (KJV): Ge 12:17 20:3 Ex 7:15-18 9:13-18 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying, BSB - This was exemplified in the experiences of Abram (Abraham) in Egypt (Gen. 12:11-20) and in Gerar (Gen. 20:1-18). From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong. Men cannot wrong us unless he suffers them to do so; the greatest of them must wait his permission before they can place a finger upon us. The wicked would devour us if they could, but they cannot even cheat us of a farthing without divine sufferance. Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes. Pharaoh and Abimelech must both be made to respect the singular strangers who had come to sojourn in their land; the greatest kings are very second rate persons with God in comparison with his chosen servants. 1 Chronicles 16:22 "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." Touch (KJV): 1Ki 19:16 Ps 105:15 1Jn 2:27 prophets (KJV): Ge 20:7 27:39,40 48:19,20 49:8-10 HAND'S OFF! Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." From Spurgeon's exposition of parallel passages in Ps 105:15 Saying, touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. Abraham and his seed were in the midst of the world a generation of priests anointed to present sacrifice unto the most High God; since to them the oracles were committed, they were also the prophets of mankind; and they were kings too—a royal priesthood; hence they had received a threefold anointing. Their holy office surrounded them with a sacredness which rendered it sacrilege to molest them. The Lord was pleased to impress the wild tribes of Canaan with a respectful awe of the pious strangers who had come to abide with them, so that they came not near them to do them ill. The words here mentioned may not have been actually spoken, but the impression of awe which fell upon the nations is thus poetically described. God will not have those touched who have been set apart unto himself He calls them his own, saying, "Mine anointed" he declares that he has "anointed" them to be prophets, priests, and kings unto himself, and yet again he claims them as his prophets—"Do my prophets no harm." All through the many years in which the three great fathers dwelt in Canaan no man was able to injure them; they were not able to defend themselves by force of arms; but the eternal God was their refuge. Even so at this present time the remnant according to the election of grace cannot be destroyed, nay, nor so much as touched, without the divine consent. (ED: BELOVED, IF YOU HAVE FEAR OF THE DEVIL ARE HIS MINIONS, YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ SPURGEON'S CLEAR STATEMENT AGAIN - I AGREE WITH HIM!) Against the church of Christ the gates of hell cannot prevail. In all this we see reasons for giving thanks unto the Lord, and proclaiming his name according to the exhortation of the first verse of the Psalm. Here ends the portion which was sung at the moving of the ark: its fitness to be used for such a purpose is very manifest, for the ark was the symbol both of the covenant and of that mystic dwelling of God with Israel which was at once her glory and her defence. None could touch the Lord's peculiar ones, for the Lord was among them, flaming forth in majesty between the cherubims. The presence of God having remained with his chosen ones while they sojourned in Canaan, it did not desert them when they were called to go down into Egypt. They did not go there of their own choice, but under divine direction, and hence the Lord prepared their way and prospered them until he saw fit to conduct them again to the land of promise. 1 Chronicles 16:23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Sing to the LORD: 1Ch 16:9 Ps 96:1-13 Ex 15:21 Ps 30:4 Isa 12:5 Proclaim good tidings: Ps 40:10 71:15 Isa 51:6-8 Sing to the LORD, all the earth - Not just Israel, but Gentiles too, implying the salvation of Gentiles. Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. Ps. 96:1-13 repeats 1 Chr. 16:23-33 1 Chronicles 16:24 Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. 2Ki 19:19 Ps 22:27 Isa 12:2-6 Da 4:1-3 LET ALL THE NATIONS HEAR OF YAHWEH'S SALVATION Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. 1 Chronicles 16:25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. great (KJV): Ps 89:7 144:3-6 Isa 40:12-17 Rev 15:3,4 he also (KJV): Ex 15:11 Ps 66:3-5 76:7 Jer 5:22 10:6-10 Rev 15:4 WHY TELL OF YAHWEH'S GLORY For - Term of explanation. Why tell of His glory, etc? Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. 1 Chronicles 16:26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. all the gods (KJV): Lev 19:4 Ps 115:4-8 Isa 44:9-20 Jer 10:10-14 Ac 19:26 1Co 8:4 the Lord (KJV): Ps 102:25 Isa 40:26 42:5 44:24 Jer 10:11,12 Rev 14:7 THE ONLY GOD THE CREATOR For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. Henry Morris - The God of the Bible is not merely one among many gods who are worshipped by pagans as the host of heaven. The one true God--the God of creation--made these heavens and all their hosts, including the idol "gods," the fallen angels (Psalm 96:5). 1 Chronicles 16:27 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. Glory (KJV): Ps 8:1 16:11 63:2,3 Joh 17:24 strength (KJV): Ps 27:4-6 28:7,8 43:2-4 place (KJV): Ps 96:6 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. 1 Chronicles 16:28 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
