1. David blessed the people (1-6)

When the ark of God was brought to its resting place, David and all Israel rejoiced. David honored God first, and then he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. He gave presents to each Israelite man and woman. How happy they were! David established spiritual order in his kingdom.

2. David's song of praise (7-36)

The main themes of this psalm of praise are introduced in verse 8. First, let us thank God for his work of salvation; second, let us call on his name--depend on him alone for help and protection; third, let us praise God who keeps his covenant forever; fourth, let us proclaim his sovereignty to all the people of the earth. The Lord reigns! Let us give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love and mercy endure forever. Let all creation praise the Creator.

3. Daily sacrifices and worship (37-43)

David appointed priests and musicians to minister before the ark every day. Then David went home to bless his family.

Application: Lord, thank you for your saving grace. Help me to proclaim your salvation to all nations.
One Word: Proclaim his name to the nations
