1 Chronicles 16:8
French (La Bible expliquée)
Louez le Seigneur, dites bien haut qui est Dieu, Avec le psaume, il s'agit de chanter les merveilles de Dieu, son action pour le peuple depuis les promesses faites aux patriarches, l'entrée dans le pays promis, l'élection. Ce rappel doit susciter la confiance en Dieu qui est le Sauveur, mais aussi le Créateur du ciel (v. 23, 26). Bien plus, toutes les nations doivent reconnaître la royauté universelle de ce Dieu. Enfin, le Seigneur est capable d'entendre le cri de ceux qui se tournent vers lui. annoncez aux autres peuples ses exploits.
