[1] And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God. [2] And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. [3] And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of flesh, and a cake of raisins.
[4] And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel: [5] Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; [6] and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
[7] Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
[8] O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known his doings among the peoples.
[9] Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
[10] Glory ye in his holy name;
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
[11] Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;
Seek his face evermore.
[12] Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,
His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
[13] O ye seed of Israel his servant,
Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
[14] He is Jehovah our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
[15] Remember his covenant for ever,
The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
[16] The covenant which he made with Abraham,
And his oath unto Isaac,
[17] And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
[18] Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance;
[19] When ye were but a few men in number,
Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
[20] And they went about from nation to nation,
And from one kingdom to another people.
[21] He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
[22] Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
[23] Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;
Show forth his salvation from day to day.
[24] Declare his glory among the nations,
His marvellous works among all the peoples.
[25] For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:
He also is to be feared above all gods.
[26] For all the gods of the peoples are idols:
But Jehovah made the heavens.
[27] Honor and majesty are before him:
Strength and gladness are in his place.
[28] Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,
Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;
[29] Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:
Bring an offering, and come before him;
Worship Jehovah in holy array.
[30] Tremble before him, all the earth:
The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
[31] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.
[32] Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the field exult, and all that is therein;
[33] Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah;
For he cometh to judge the earth.
[34] O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
[35] And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation,
And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,
To give thanks unto thy holy name,
And to triumph in thy praise.
[36] Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.
[37] So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required; [38] and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; [39] and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, [40] to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel; [41] and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth for ever; [42] and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets 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. [43] And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
