What Does 1 Chronicles 16:36 Mean?
The song ends as it should, in blessing: 'Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever.' And the whole assembly answers with a great 'Amen' and breaks out in praise.
Worship reaches its fullness when the people make it their own. The leader's words are not enough until every voice joins the 'Amen,' sealing the praise as the heart's true agreement. To say 'Amen' is to declare, 'So it is, and so let it be.' This is the goal of all worship: a whole people united in blessing God, their many voices becoming one great offering of praise.
