A Thankful Heart
The Davidic covenant contains some specific promises to David personally. He longed to build God’s temple, but God said his son Solomon would build it. We can learn much about David’s heart in this passage.
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. ~ Psalm 100:1-3
