1 - They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

2 - When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.

3 - He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

4 - He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Yahweh, 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 stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6 - and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 - Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

8 - Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make his doings known among the peoples.

9 - Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.

10 - Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

11 - Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

12 - Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

13 - you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 - He is Yahweh our God. His judgments 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 the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 - saying, “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 were 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 Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.

24 - Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.

25 - For great is Yahweh, 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 Yahweh made the heavens.

27 - Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

28 - Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!

29 - Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh 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 among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

32 - Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is therein!

33 - Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.

34 - Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

35 - Say, “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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.

37 - So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;

38 - and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;

39 - and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 - to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;

41 - and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;

42 - and with them Heman and Jeduthun with 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.

43 - All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
