| 1 | And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God. |
| 2 | And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings 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 measure [of wine] and a raisin-cake. |
| 4 | And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service 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 instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals; |
| 6 | and Benaiah 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 give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren. |
| 8 | Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples. |
| 9 | Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works. |
| 10 | Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. |
| 11 | Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually; |
| 12 | Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth: |
| 13 | Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
| 14 | He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth. |
| 15 | Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, -- |
| 16 | Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac; |
| 17 | And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto 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 a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it. |
| 20 | And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people. |
| 21 | He suffered no man to oppress them, And 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; Publish his salvation from day to day. |
| 24 | Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples. |
| 25 | For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods. |
| 26 | For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. |
| 27 | Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place. |
| 28 | Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength! |
| 29 | Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour. |
| 30 | Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved. |
| 31 | Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; 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 forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth. |
| 34 | Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever. |
| 35 | And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise. |
| 36 | Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah. |
| 37 | And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required; |
| 38 | and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as 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 up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, because his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever; |
| 42 | and with them, [with] Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate. |
| 43 | And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household. |
