to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded to Israel;
The hymn began with a call to worship that embraced the nations (1 Chronicles 16:8-13; cf. Isaiah 12:4). Then the people extolled God’s greatness and glory (1 Chronicles 16:14-22). They stressed God’s unmerited favor toward Israel’s patriarchs in this section. Another call to worship (1 Chronicles 16:23-24) led to another section of praise that emphasizes Yahweh’s superiority over the nations’ gods (1 Chronicles 16:25-26) and His creative power (1 Chronicles 16:27-30). The final part of the hymn called on all people to turn to Yahweh in trust and obedience in view of His coming to judge and save (1 Chronicles 16:31-36). Throughout this hymn the emphasis rests on God’s deeds, God’s words, God’s greatness, and God’s worth.
