20 And David saith to all the assembly, `Bless, I pray you, Jehovah your God;' and all the assembly bless Jehovah, God of their fathers, and bow and do obeisance to Jehovah, and to the king.
and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their affliction; and they bow and do obeisance.
and Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah, and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant.
and the thing is good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel bless God, and have not said to go up against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, are dwelling in.
Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, `Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah.
And he taketh counsel with the people, and appointeth singers to Jehovah, and those giving praise to the honour of holiness, in the going out before the armed `men', and saying, `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, for to the age `is' His kindness.'
Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.
Lift up your hands `in' the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah.
Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless Thy name to the age and for ever. Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age and for ever. Great `is' Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His greatness there is no searching. Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy mighty acts they declare. The honour -- the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of Thy wonders I declare. And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy greatness I recount. The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send forth. And Thy righteousness they sing. Gracious and merciful `is' Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness. Good `is' Jehovah to all, And His mercies `are' over all His works. Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee. The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And `of' Thy might they speak, To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour of the majesty of His kingdom. Thy kingdom `is' a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion `is' in all generations. Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season, Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing. Righteous `is' Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works. Near `is' Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who call Him in truth. The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He heareth, and saveth them. Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the wicked He destroyeth. The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh doth bless His holy name, To the age and for ever!
They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath been set on high, His honour `is' above earth and heavens. And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye Jah!

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 29 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 29
David has said what he had to say to Solomon. But he had something more to say to the congregation before he parted with them.
1Ch 29:1-9
We may here observe,
1Ch 29:10-22
We have here,
1Ch 29:23-30
These verses bring king Solomon to his throne and king David to his grave. Thus the rising generation thrusts out that which went before, and says, "Make room for us.' Every one has his day.
