So they brought[H935] the ark[H727] of God[H430], and set[H3322] it in the midst[H8432] of the tent[H168] that David[H1732] had pitched[H5186] for it: and they offered[H7126] burnt sacrifices[H5930] and peace offerings[H8002]before[H6440]God[H430].
2
And when David[H1732] had made an end[H3615] of offering[H5927] the burnt offerings[H5930] and the peace offerings[H8002], he blessed[H1288] the people[H5971] in the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068].
3
And he dealt[H2505] to every one[H376] of Israel[H3478], both man[H376] and woman[H802], to every one[H376] a loaf[H3603] of bread[H3899], and a good piece of flesh[H829], and a flagon[H809] of wine.
4
And he appointed[H5414] certain of the Levites[H3881] to minister[H8334]before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the LORD[H3068], and to record[H2142], and to thank[H3034] and praise[H1984] the LORD[H3068]God[H430] of Israel[H3478]:
5Asaph[H623] the chief[H7218], and next[H4932] to him Zechariah[H2148], Jeiel[H3273], and Shemiramoth[H8070], and Jehiel[H3171], and Mattithiah[H4993], and Eliab[H446], and Benaiah[H1141], and Obededom[H5654]: and Jeiel[H3273] with psalteries[H5035] and with harps[H3658]; but Asaph[H623] made a sound[H8085] with cymbals[H4700];
6Benaiah[H1141] also and Jahaziel[H3166] the priests[H3548] with trumpets[H2689]continually[H8548]before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of God[H430].
7
Then on that day[H3117]David[H1732]delivered[H5414]first[H7218] this psalm to thank[H3034] the LORD[H3068] into the hand[H3027] of Asaph[H623] and his brethren[H251].
8
Give thanks[H3034] unto the LORD[H3068], call[H7121] upon his name[H8034], make known[H3045] his deeds[H5949] among the people[H5971].
9Sing[H7891] unto him, sing[H7891]psalms[H2167] unto him, talk[H7878] ye of all his wondrous[H6381] works.
10Glory[H1984] ye in his holy[H6944]name[H8034]: let the heart[H3820] of them rejoice[H8055] that seek[H1245] the LORD[H3068].
11Seek[H1875] the LORD[H3068] and his strength[H5797], seek[H1245] his face[H6440]continually[H8548].
12Remember[H2142] his marvellous[H6381] works that he hath done[H6213], his wonders[H4159], and the judgments[H4941] of his mouth[H6310];
13
O ye seed[H2233] of Israel[H3478] his servant[H5650], ye children[H1121] of Jacob[H3290], his chosen ones[H972].
14
He is the LORD[H3068] our God[H430]; his judgments[H4941] are in all the earth[H776].
15
Be ye mindful[H2142]always[H5769] of his covenant[H1285]; the word[H1697] which he commanded[H6680] to a thousand[H505]generations[H1755];
16
Even of the covenant which he made[H3772] with Abraham[H85], and of his oath[H7621] unto Isaac[H3327];
17
And hath confirmed[H5975] the same to Jacob[H3290] for a law[H2706], and to Israel[H3478] for an everlasting[H5769]covenant[H1285],
18Saying[H559], Unto thee will I give[H5414] the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], the lot[H2256] of your inheritance[H5159];
19
When ye were but few[H4557], even a few[H4962], and strangers[H1481] in it.
20
And when they went[H1980] from nation[H1471] to nation[H1471], and from one kingdom[H4467] to another[H312]people[H5971];
21
He suffered[H3240] no man[H376] to do them wrong[H6231]: yea, he reproved[H3198]kings[H4428] for their sakes,
22
Saying, Touch[H5060] not mine anointed[H4899], and do my prophets[H5030] no harm[H7489].
23Sing[H7891] unto the LORD[H3068], all the earth[H776]; shew forth[H1319] from day[H3117] to day[H3117] his salvation[H3444].
24Declare[H5608] his glory[H3519] among the heathen[H1471]; his marvellous works[H6381] among all nations[H5971].
25
For great[H1419] is the LORD[H3068], and greatly[H3966] to be praised[H1984]: he also is to be feared[H3372] above all gods[H430].
26
For all the gods[H430] of the people[H5971] are idols[H457]: but the LORD[H3068]made[H6213] the heavens[H8064].
27Glory[H1935] and honour[H1926] are in his presence[H6440]; strength[H5797] and gladness[H2304] are in his place[H4725].
28Give[H3051] unto the LORD[H3068], ye kindreds[H4940] of the people[H5971], give[H3051] unto the LORD[H3068]glory[H3519] and strength[H5797].
29Give[H3051] unto the LORD[H3068] the glory[H3519] due unto his name[H8034]: bring[H5375] an offering[H4503], and come[H935]before[H6440] him: worship[H7812] the LORD[H3068] in the beauty[H1927] of holiness[H6944].
30Fear[H2342]before[H6440] him, all the earth[H776]: the world[H8398] also shall be stable[H3559], that it be not moved[H4131].
31
Let the heavens[H8064] be glad[H8055], and let the earth[H776]rejoice[H1523]: and let men say[H559] among the nations[H1471], The LORD[H3068]reigneth[H4427].
32
Let the sea[H3220]roar[H7481], and the fulness[H4393] thereof: let the fields[H7704]rejoice[H5970], and all that is therein.
33
Then shall the trees[H6086] of the wood[H3293] sing out[H7442] at the presence[H6440] of the LORD[H3068], because he cometh[H935] to judge[H8199] the earth[H776].
34
O give thanks[H3034] unto the LORD[H3068]; for he is good[H2896]; for his mercy[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769].
35
And say[H559] ye, Save[H3467] us, O God[H430] of our salvation[H3468], and gather us together[H6908], and deliver[H5337] us from the heathen[H1471], that we may give thanks[H3034] to thy holy[H6944]name[H8034], and glory[H7623] in thy praise[H8416].
36Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068]God[H430] of Israel[H3478] for ever[H5769] and ever[H5769]. And all the people[H5971]said[H559], Amen[H543], and praised[H1984] the LORD[H3068].
37
So he left[H5800] there before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of the LORD[H3068]Asaph[H623] and his brethren[H251], to minister[H8334]before[H6440] the ark[H727]continually[H8548], as every day's work[H1697]required[H3117]:
38
And Obededom[H5654] with their brethren[H251], threescore[H8346] and eight[H8083]; Obededom[H5654] also the son[H1121] of Jeduthun[H3038] and Hosah[H2621] to be porters[H7778]:
39
And Zadok[H6659] the priest[H3548], and his brethren[H251] the priests[H3548], before[H6440] the tabernacle[H4908] of the LORD[H3068] in the high place[H1116] that was at Gibeon[H1391],
40
To offer[H5927] burnt offerings[H5930] unto the LORD[H3068] upon the altar[H4196] of the burnt offering[H5930]continually[H8548]morning[H1242] and evening[H6153], and to do according to all that is written[H3789] in the law[H8451] of the LORD[H3068], which he commanded[H6680]Israel[H3478];
41
And with them Heman[H1968] and Jeduthun[H3038], and the rest[H7605] that were chosen[H1305], who were expressed[H5344] by name[H8034], to give thanks[H3034] to the LORD[H3068], because his mercy[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769];
42
And with them Heman[H1968] and Jeduthun[H3038] with trumpets[H2689] and cymbals[H4700] for those that should make a sound[H8085], and with musical[H7892]instruments[H3627] of God[H430]. And the sons[H1121] of Jeduthun[H3038] were porters[H8179].
43
And all the people[H5971]departed[H3212] every man[H376] to his house[H1004]: and David[H1732]returned[H5437] to bless[H1288] his house[H1004].
