1They 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.
4He 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 trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7Then 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 among the peoples.
9Sing to Him.
Sing praises to Him.
Tell of all His marvelous works.
10Glory in His holy name.
Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11Seek the Lord and His strength.
Seek His face forever more.
12Remember His marvelous works that He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
13you offspring of Israel His servant,
you children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
14He is the Lord our God.
His judgments are in all the earth.
15Remember His covenant forever,
the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
16the covenant which He made with Abraham,
His oath to Isaac.
17He 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,”
19when you were but a few men in number,
yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
20They went about from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people.
21He 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!”
23Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Display His salvation from day to day.
24Declare His glory among the nations,
and His marvelous works among all the peoples.
25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.
He also is to be feared above all gods.
26For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
27Honor and majesty are before Him.
Strength and gladness are in His place.
28Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name.
Bring an offering, and come before Him.
Worship the Lord in holy array.
30Tremble before Him, all the earth.
The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
31Let the heavens be glad,
and let the earth rejoice!
Let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
32Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
33Then 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.”
36Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting even to everlasting.
All the people said, “Amen,” and praised the Lord.
37So 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 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.
1Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo. 2Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini. 3Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem, tortam panis, et partem assæ carnis bubalæ, et frixam oleo similam. 4Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum ejus, et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israël: 5Asaph principem, et secundum ejus Zachariam: porro Jahiel, et Semiramoth, et Jehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Jehiel super organa psalterii et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret: 6Banaiam vero et Jaziel sacerdotes canere tuba jugiter coram arca fœderis Domini. 7In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres ejus: 8Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus: notas facite in populis adinventiones ejus. 9Cantate ei, et psallite ei, et narrate omnia mirabilia ejus. 10Laudate nomen sanctum ejus: lætetur cor quærentium Dominum. 11Quærite Dominum, et virtutem ejus: quærite faciem ejus semper. 12Recordamini mirabilium ejus quæ fecit; signorum illius, et judiciorum oris ejus, 13semen Israël servi ejus, filii Jacob electi ejus. 14Ipse Dominus Deus noster: in universa terra judicia ejus. 15Recordamini in sempiternum pacti ejus: sermonis quem præcepit in mille generationes, 16quem pepigit cum Abraham, et juramenti illius cum Isaac. 17Et constituit illud Jacob in præceptum, et Israël in pactum sempiternum, 18dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ: 19cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni ejus. 20Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum. 21Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges. 22Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari. 23Cantate Domino omnis terra; annuntiate ex die in diem salutare ejus: 24narrate in gentibus gloriam ejus; in cunctis populis mirabilia ejus. 25Quia magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et horribilis super omnes deos. 26Omnes enim dii populorum idola: Dominus autem cælos fecit. 27Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco ejus. 28Afferte Domino, familiæ populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium. 29Date Domino gloriam; nomini ejus levate sacrificium, et venite in conspectu ejus: et adorate Dominum in decore sancto. 30Commoveatur a facie ejus omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem. 31Lætentur cæli, et exultet terra, et dicant in nationibus: Dominus regnavit. 32Tonet mare et plenitudo ejus; exultent agri, et omnia quæ in eis sunt. 33Tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino: quia venit judicare terram. 34Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus. 35Et dicite: Salva nos, Deus salvator noster, et congrega nos, et erue de gentibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et exultemus in carminibus tuis. 36Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, ab æterno usque in æternum. Et dicat omnis populo: Amen, et hymnum Domino. 37Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca fœderis Domini Asaph et fratres ejus, ut ministrarent in conspectu arcæ jugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas. 38Porro Obededom, et fratres ejus sexaginta octo: et Obededom filium Idithun, et Hosa, constituit janitores; 39Sadoc autem sacerdotem, et fratres ejus sacerdotes, coram tabernaculo Domini in excelso quod erat in Gabaon, 40ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis jugiter, mane et vespere, juxta omnia quæ scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam præcepit Israëli. 41Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus. 42Heman quoque et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Deo: filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios. 43Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suæ.
