Now therefore
This phrase serves as a transition, indicating a response to the preceding events and acknowledgments. In the context of 1 Chronicles 29, King David is addressing the assembly of Israel, having gathered resources for the building of the temple. The phrase "Now therefore" suggests a culmination of gratitude and recognition of God's providence and blessings. It is a call to action, urging the people to respond to God's faithfulness with thanksgiving.

our God
The use of "our" signifies a personal and communal relationship with God. It reflects the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel. This possessive pronoun emphasizes that God is not distant or abstract but is intimately involved in the lives of His people. Historically, this reflects the unique identity of Israel as God's chosen people, set apart to worship and serve Him.

we give You thanks
The act of giving thanks is central to worship and acknowledges God's sovereignty and goodness. The Hebrew root for "thanks" is "yadah," which means to praise or give thanks. This expression of gratitude is not merely a polite gesture but a profound acknowledgment of God's provision and grace. In the context of ancient Israel, thanksgiving was often accompanied by offerings and sacrifices, symbolizing a heart of gratitude and devotion.

and we praise
Praise is an extension of thanksgiving, focusing on the attributes and character of God. The Hebrew word for "praise" is "halal," from which "hallelujah" is derived. It means to boast or celebrate. In praising God, the people of Israel are not only acknowledging what He has done but also who He is—His holiness, majesty, and power. Praise is a vital component of worship, drawing the worshiper closer to God and aligning their heart with His.

Your glorious name
The "name" of God represents His essence, character, and reputation. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than a label; it conveyed the nature and identity of a person. God's name is "glorious," indicating His splendor and majesty. The term "glorious" is derived from the Hebrew word "kabod," which means weight or honor. This reflects the reverence and awe due to God, whose name is above all names. In the biblical narrative, God's name is often associated with His mighty acts and covenant promises, reminding the people of His faithfulness and power.

(13) Now therefore, our God, we thank thee.--And now, our God, we are thanking thee, and praising (participles in the Hebrew). Modim, "thanking," occurs nowhere else, though the verb is common in other forms.

Thy glorious name.--The name of thy glory: here only. (Comp. Isaiah 63:14, and Psalm 72:19.)
