+### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1Chronicles16.14-36)
+
+David's song continues with a reminder of God's universality.
+The religions of the Fertile Crescent mostly featured gods over particular localities.
+Gods of this hill or that river, the people living in this land, but they would have no power outside of their jurisdiction.
+Not the God of Israel.
+He instead is the Judge over the whole earth, and there is nowhere one can go to escape His verdicts.
+
+Yahweh is also a everpresent throughout time as well as space.
+David, and also the Chronicler, reminds the people that the Lord made a covenant with Abraham to bless the whole world through his descendants forever.
+Of particular concern during Ezra's day, the Israelites were promised the land that the Lord had given to them to be an inheritance forever.
+Part of fulfilling that promise involved protecting the sons of Israel as they fled Egypt and preventing the various groups they encountered from raiding and harassing them.
+
+The song's focus switches to an evangelistic message, which I had not expected from Old Testament poetry.
+The Lord is a glorious Savior!
+The whole world needs to know this fact.
+They worship dead statues and do not recognize God's sovereignty over them.
+But because He loves them, He will accept their sacfrice that they bring willingly to Him.
+Even creation will bear witness to God's greatness by joining in the song that His people sing to Him.
+For the Lord is good and brings salvation, saving His people from the nations that surround them.
