1 Chronicles 16
16
1And they brought in the ark of God#GodHebrew: Elohim 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#GodHebrew: Elohim 2And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah. 3And 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. 4And 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#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel: 5Asaph 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; 6and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God#GodHebrew: Elohim
7Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren. 8Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples. 9Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works. 10Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. 11Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually; 12Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth: 13Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14He, Jehovah, is our God#GodHebrew: Elohim His judgments are in all the earth. 15Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, — 16Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac; 17And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance; 19When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it. 20And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people. 21He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes, 22Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm. 23Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day. 24Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples. 25For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens. 27Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place. 28Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength! 29Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour. 30Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved. 31Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! 32Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein. 33Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth. 34Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 35And say, Save us, O God#GodHebrew: Elohim of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise. 36Blessed be Jehovah the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.
37And 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; 38and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers. 39And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40to 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; 41and 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; 42and with them, with Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God#GodHebrew: Elohim And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate. 43And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.

1 Chronicles 16
16
1 They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name. 3He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel: 5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; 6with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with shofars#16:6 or, trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8Oh give thanks to the LORD.
Call on his name.
Make what he has done known amongst the peoples.
9 Sing to him.
Sing praises to him.
Tell of all his marvellous works.
10 Glory in his holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength.
Seek his face forever more.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he has done,
his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
13 you offspring#16:13 or, seed of Israel his servant,
you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 He is the LORD our God.
His judgements are in all the earth.
15 Remember his covenant forever,
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his oath to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan,
The lot of your inheritance,”
19 when you were but a few men in number,
yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20 They went about from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong.
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22“Don’t touch my anointed ones!
Do my prophets no harm!”
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
Display his salvation from day to day.
24 Declare his glory amongst the nations,
and his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.
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 peoples are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Honour and majesty are before him.
Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name.
Bring an offering, and come before him.
Worship the LORD in holy array.
30 Tremble before him, all the earth.
The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad,
and let the earth rejoice!
Let them say amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns!”
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD,
for he comes to judge the earth.
34Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
35Say, “Save us, God of our salvation!
Gather us together and deliver us from the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name,
to triumph in your praise.”
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting even to everlasting.
All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the LORD.
37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required; 38and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; 39and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before the LORD’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the LORD’s law, which he commanded to Israel; 41and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever; 42and with them Heman and Jeduthun with shofars#16:42 or, 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. 43All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
