Contradiction with Isaiah 55:12
This verse says, "the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands," creating a contradiction by forming a more active, anthropomorphic image of nature's joy compared to the more passive 'trees rejoice' in 1 Chronicles 16:33.

Jeremiah 12:4: How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
Contradiction with Romans 8:22
This verse describes, "the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now," which contradicts the idea of joyful nature in 1 Chronicles 16:33.
Romans 8:22: For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [the...: or, every creature]
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict might be the idea of trees expressing emotions or making sounds like humans. In science, trees don't have consciousness or vocal cords to sing or express joy like people do. They respond to the environment in different, non-emotional ways.
