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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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:
05 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;
06 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with
trumpets continually before the ark of the
covenant of God.
07 Then on that day David delivered first this
psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph
and his brethren.
08 Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name,
make known his deeds among the people.
09 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.
