This site's exposition

Save us, O God of our salvation

on 1 Chronicles 16:35-36

The closing prayer, “Save us, O God of our salvation; gather and deliver us from the nations”, matches Ps 106:47-48 almost exactly. The people answer with “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”, the same Amen that seals Ps 106 in its own place.

This site's exposition

Then all the people said

The blessing on the LORD, the God of Israel, runs from everlasting to everlasting. All the people answer Amen and add their praise. Eusebius of Caesarea names the psalms of Asaph, the singer who received this song at verse 7, among the Psalter's prophecies from David's time.

And the sons of Jeduthun were porters. 43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house. The worship of God is not only to be the work of a solemn day now and then, brought in to grace a triumph; but it ought to be the work of every day.
