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 Obededom: 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 unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
|
| 9 |
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous 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 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 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 unto Isaac;
|
| 17 |
And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and 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 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 mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
|
| 23 |
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
|
| 24 |
Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous 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 honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
|
| 28 |
Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
|
| 29 |
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.
|
| 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 fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
|
| 33 |
Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
|
| 34 |
O give thanks unto 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 Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom 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 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;
|
| 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.
