So they brought the ark
of God
, and set
it in the midst
of the tent
that David
had pitched
for it: and they offered
burnt sacrifices
and peace offerings
before
God
.
And when David had made an end
of offering
the burnt offerings
and the peace offerings
, he blessed
the people
in the name
of the LORD
.
And he dealt to every one
of Israel
, both man
and woman
, to every one
a loaf
of bread
, and a good piece of flesh
, and a flagon
of wine .
And he appointed certain of the Levites
to minister
before
the ark
of the LORD
, and to record
, and to thank
and praise
the LORD
God
of Israel
:
Asaph the chief
, and next
to him Zechariah
, Jeiel
, and Shemiramoth
, and Jehiel
, and Mattithiah
, and Eliab
, and Benaiah
, and Obededom
: and Jeiel
with psalteries
and with harps
; but Asaph
made a sound
with cymbals
;
Benaiah also and Jahaziel
the priests
with trumpets
continually
before
the ark
of the covenant
of God
.
Then on that day David
delivered
first
this psalm to thank
the LORD
into the hand
of Asaph
and his brethren
.
Give thanks unto the LORD
, call
upon his name
, make known
his deeds
among the people
.
Sing unto him, sing psalms
unto him, talk
ye of all his wondrous
works.
Glory ye in his holy
name
: let the heart
of them rejoice
that seek
the LORD
.
Seek the LORD
and his strength
, seek
his face
continually
.
Remember his marvellous
works that he hath done
, his wonders
, and the judgments
of his mouth
;
O ye seed of Israel
his servant
, ye children
of Jacob
, his chosen ones
.
He is the LORD our God
; his judgments
are in all the earth
.
Be ye mindful always
of his covenant
; the word
which he commanded
to a thousand
generations
;
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham
, and of his oath
unto Isaac
;
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob
for a law
, and to Israel
for an everlasting
covenant
,
Saying, Unto thee will I give
the land
of Canaan
, the lot
of your inheritance
;
When ye were but few, even a few
, and strangers
in it.
And when they went from nation
to nation
, and from one kingdom
to another
people
;
He suffered no man
to do them wrong
: yea, he reproved
kings
for their sakes,
Saying , Touch not mine anointed
, and do my prophets
no harm
.
Sing unto the LORD
, all the earth
; shew forth
from day
to day
his salvation
.
Declare his glory
among the heathen
; his marvellous works
among all nations
.
For great is the LORD
, and greatly
to be praised
: he also is to be feared
above all gods
.
For all the gods of the people
are idols
: but the LORD
made
the heavens
.
Glory and honour
are in his presence
; strength
and gladness
are in his place
.
Give unto the LORD
, ye kindreds
of the people
, give
unto the LORD
glory
and strength
.
Give unto the LORD
the glory
due unto his name
: bring
an offering
, and come
before
him: worship
the LORD
in the beauty
of holiness
.
Fear before
him, all the earth
: the world
also shall be stable
, that it be not moved
.
Let the heavens be glad
, and let the earth
rejoice
: and let men say
among the nations
, The LORD
reigneth
.
Let the sea roar
, and the fulness
thereof: let the fields
rejoice
, and all that is therein.
Then shall the trees of the wood
sing out
at the presence
of the LORD
, because he cometh
to judge
the earth
.
O give thanks unto the LORD
; for he is good
; for his mercy
endureth for ever
.
And say ye, Save
us, O God
of our salvation
, and gather us together
, and deliver
us from the heathen
, that we may give thanks
to thy holy
name
, and glory
in thy praise
.
Blessed be the LORD
God
of Israel
for ever
and ever
. And all the people
said
, Amen
, and praised
the LORD
.
So he left there before
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
Asaph
and his brethren
, to minister
before
the ark
continually
, as every day's
work
required
:
And Obededom with their brethren
, threescore
and eight
; Obededom
also the son
of Jeduthun
and Hosah
to be porters
:
And Zadok the priest
, and his brethren
the priests
, before
the tabernacle
of the LORD
in the high place
that was at Gibeon
,
To offer burnt offerings
unto the LORD
upon the altar
of the burnt offering
continually
morning
and evening
, and to do according to all that is written
in the law
of the LORD
, which he commanded
Israel
;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun
, and the rest
that were chosen
, who were expressed
by name
, to give thanks
to the LORD
, because his mercy
endureth for ever
;
And with them Heman and Jeduthun
with trumpets
and cymbals
for those that should make a sound
, and with musical
instruments
of God
. And the sons
of Jeduthun
were porters
.
And all the people departed
every man
to his house
: and David
returned
to bless
his house
.
