1. |
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.
|
|
2. |
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.
|
|
3. |
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.
|
|
4. |
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:
|
|
5. |
Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
|
|
6. |
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
|
|
7. |
Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
|
|
8. |
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
|
|
9. |
Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wonderous works.
|
|
10. |
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
|
|
11. |
Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
|
|
12. |
Remember his wonderful 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 the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
|
|
15. |
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
|
|
16. |
Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath to Isaac;
|
|
17. |
And which he confirmed to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
|
|
18. |
Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
|
|
19. |
When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
|
|
20. |
And when they went 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 my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
|
|
23. |
Sing to the LORD, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.
|
|
24. |
Declare his glory among the heathen; his wonderful works among all nations.
|
|
25. |
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.
|
|
26. |
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
|
|
27. |
Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
|
|
28. |
Give to the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
|
|
29. |
Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
|
|
30. |
Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
|
|
31. |
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
|
|
32. |
Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
|
|
33. |
Then shall the trees of the wood sing at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
|
|
34. |
O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
|
|
35. |
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.
|
|
36. |
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
|
|
37. |
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:
|
|
38. |
And Obed-edom with their brethren, sixty and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
|
|
39. |
And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
|
|
40. |
To offer burnt-offerings to 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;
|
|
41. |
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;
|
|
42. |
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.
|
|
43. |
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
