Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.

1 Chronicles 16:7-43
That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord in this manner:
Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. 
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place. 
Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures foreverCry out, “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.” Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly, morning and evening, in accordance with everything written in the Law of the Lord, which he had given Israel.
Then all the people left, each for their own home, and David returned home to bless his family.
Extracts from various psalms are brought together in verses 8-36. These may be typical of what Asaph's choir sang before the Ark, rather than the actual words. At Jerusalem and at Gibeon provision is made for daily sacrifices and praise to God in words and music.
Why?
Praise to the Lord for his salvation and his greatness. Proclaim his holy name and his majesty.

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his love endures forever.
David made all of the worship regulations and the worship team at that time. Which became our worship now in churches.

敘說詩歌敬拜的內容
一、尋求神的面:一定看到神的作為
二、紀念神的約:出現四次神的約。約是神將自己放在權利與義務之間。神本來沒有義務的。神的應許與神的要求都要知道。神所吩咐的就是神的要求。神向人啟示,神的約。向神過去的作為獻上感恩。神在約裏要保護人。從一個家族成為一個民族。
三、讚美神的至高、至大、至深:神的創造、權柄、能力。讚美神之後,人的回應:歸榮耀給神,歸能力給神(能力來自神)。拿供物給神,如何奉獻:用聖潔的人來敬拜,全然的心就是聖潔。這才是神所悅悅納的
四、人的回應:歡呼快樂。我們聖潔的,守神的約。審判來臨是神的公義彰顯。
五、人的祈求:當我們與神的關係有上面的基礎上,我們所求的基於堅定的信心,必蒙神喜悅、成全。來到神面前不是先祈求。先求他的國和他的義,你所祈求的必蒙成就。
整個聚會的內容都是敬拜,敬拜要生活化即生活的敬拜,敬拜不能聚會化。當作活祭獻給神,每天都要更新我們奉獻給神,天天提醒過奉獻的生活。這樣我們不易被世界所引誘。

How?
Worship to the Lord with all of our heart and mind for God is good.
