And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me: “These in white robes,” he asked, “who are they, and where have they come from?” “Sir,” I answered, “you know.” So he replied, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

2 Samuel 22:1 Summary
[This verse tells us about a time when David was very thankful to God because God had helped him defeat all his enemies, including someone who had been trying to hurt him for a long time, King Saul. David was so happy and relieved that he sang a song to God right away, which is recorded in the following verses of 2 Samuel 22. This shows us how important it is to say thank you to God when He helps us, just like we are encouraged to do in Psalms 100:4. By doing so, we can follow David's example and express our gratitude to God for His goodness and deliverance in our lives, as seen in Psalms 34:1.]
