Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 16:36
16:35 From the Heathen - This psalm or prayer was made by David forthe use of the church, not only in that present time, but in future ages,in which David foresaw by the spirit of prophecy, the Israeliteswould forsake God, and for their apostacy be dispersed among the Heathens.In the midst of our praises, we must not forget to pray for those servantsof God that are in distress. When we are rejoicing in God's favours, weshould remember our afflicted brethren, and pray for their deliverance asour own. We are members one of another.
16:37 He left - He appointed them their work and station there.Indeed no incense was burnt there, nor sacrifices offered, because thealtars were not there. But David's prayers were directed as incense,and the lifting up of his hands as an evening sacrifice. So early didspiritual worship take place of ceremonial.
