Context of 1 Chronicles 16:27
25For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place. 28Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength! 29Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.
