1They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it ; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings , he blessed the people in the LORD ’s name .
3He gave to everyone of Israel , both man and woman , to everyone a loaf of bread , a portion of meat , and a cake of raisins.
4He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD ’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank , and to praise the LORD , the God of Israel :
5Asaph the chief , and second to him Zechariah , then Jeiel , Shemiramoth , Jehiel , Mattithiah , Eliab, Benaiah , Obed-Edom , and Jeiel , with stringed instruments and with harps ; and Asaph with cymbals , sounding aloud ;
6with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars continually , before the ark of the covenant of God.[#16:6 or, trumpets]
7Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8Oh give thanks to the LORD .
Call on his name .
Make what he has done known among the peoples .
9Sing to him .
Sing praises to him .
Tell of all his marvelous works .
10Glory in his holy name .
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice .
11Seek the LORD and his strength .
Seek his face forever more.
12Remember his marvelous works that he has done ,
his wonders , and the judgments of his mouth ,
13you offspring of Israel his servant ,[#16:13 or, seed]
you children of Jacob , his chosen ones .
14He is the LORD our God .
His judgments are in all the earth.
15Remember his covenant forever ,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations ,
16the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his oath to Isaac .
17He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute ,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant ,
18saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan ,
The lot of your inheritance ,”
19when you were but a few men in number ,
yes, very few , and foreigners in it .
20They went about from nation to nation ,
from one kingdom to another people .
21He allowed no man to do them wrong .
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes ,
22“Don’t touch my anointed ones !
Do my prophets no harm !”
23Sing to the LORD , all the earth!
Display his salvation from day to day .
24Declare his glory among the nations ,
and his marvelous works among all the peoples .
25For great is the LORD , and greatly to be praised .
He also is to be feared above all gods.
26For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens .
27Honor and majesty are before him .
Strength and gladness are in his place .
28Ascribe to the LORD , you families of the peoples ,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength !
29Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name .
Bring an offering , and come before him .
Worship the LORD in holy array .
30Tremble before him , all the earth.
The world also is established that it can’t be moved .
31Let the heavens be glad ,
and let the earth rejoice !
Let them say among the nations , “The LORD reigns !”
32Let the sea roar , and its fullness !
Let the field exult , and all that is in it !
33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD ,
for he comes to judge the earth.
34Oh give thanks to the LORD , for he is good ,
for his loving kindness endures forever .
35Say, “Save us , God of our salvation !
Gather us together and deliver us from the nations ,
to give thanks to your holy name ,
to triumph in your praise .”
36Blessed be the LORD , the God of Israel ,
from everlasting even to everlasting .
All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD .
37So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD ’s covenant , to minister before the ark continually , as every day ’s work required ;
38and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives ; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers ;
39and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests , before the LORD ’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon ,
40to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening , even according to all that is written in the LORD ’s law , which he commanded to Israel ;
41and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen , who were mentioned by name , to give thanks to the LORD , because his loving kindness endures forever ;
42and with them Heman and Jeduthun with shofars and cymbals for those that should sound aloud , and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate .[#16:42 or, trumpets]
43All the people departed , each man to his house ; and David returned to bless his house .
