Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
16:7-36 David’s song of thanksgiving is a composite of three psalms: 16:8-22 draws from Ps 105:1-15; 1 Chr 16:23-33 draws from Ps 96; and 1 Chr 16:34-38 draws from Ps 106:1, 47-48. The composer made several adjustments to the sources to fit this occasion. The Temple did not exist when the Ark was brought to Jerusalem, so the Chronicler says that strength and joy fill his dwelling (1 Chr 16:27) instead of “his sanctuary” (Ps 96:6) and requires the worshiper to come into his presence (1 Chr 16:29) instead of “into his courts” (Ps 96:8). The name “Abraham” (Ps 105:9) is also changed to Israel (1 Chr 16:13) to focus specifically on the nation as the fulfillment of the promises to Abraham. The hymn does not mention the judgment of the earth (Ps 96:10, 13; cp. 1 Chr 16:30, 33) because it was not relevant to the dedication of the Ark.
