1 Chronicles 16 — King James Version

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.● 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.● 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}.● 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:● 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; {with psalteries...: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}● Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.● Then on that day David delivered first {this psalm} to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.● Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.● Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.● Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.● Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.● Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;● O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.● He {is} the LORD our God; his judgments {are} in all the earth.● Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word {which} he commanded to a thousand generations;● {Even of the covenant} which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;● And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, {and} to Israel {for} an everlasting covenant,● Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; {the lot: Heb. the cord}● When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. {few, even: Heb. men of number, etc}● And {when} they went from nation to nation, and from {one} kingdom to another people;● He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,● {Saying}, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.● Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.● Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.● For great {is} the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also {is} to be feared above all gods.● For all the gods of the people {are} idols: but the LORD made the heavens.● Glory and honour {are} in his presence; strength and gladness {are} in his place.● Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.● 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.● Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.● Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let {men} say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.● Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that {is} therein.● Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.● O give thanks unto the LORD; for {he is} good; for his mercy {endureth} for ever.● 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.● Blessed {be} the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.● 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:● And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah {to be} porters:● And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that {was} at Gibeon,● 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; {morning...: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening}● 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;● 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. {porters: Heb. for the gate}● And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.●
