1 Chronicles 16

CHAPTER 16 The Ark Brought in with Exultation and Praise

1 And they carried in the ark of God, and fastened it in the midst of the tent, which [²pitched ³for it ¹David]. And they offered whole burnt-offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And David completed offering the whole burnt-offerings and the peace offerings, and he blessed the people by the name of the lord. 3 And he divided unto every man of Israel, from man unto woman, to every man [²bread loaf ¹one] of a baker, and honey-bread. 4 And he arranged in front of the ark of the covenant of the lord certain of the Levites officiating, and sounding out loud, even to acknowledge and to give praise to the lord God of Israel. 5 Asaph the ruler, and his second Zachariah, and Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, and Jeiel with instruments, with stringed instruments and lutes; and Asaph with cymbals sounding out loud. 6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with the trumpets sounding continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 In that day then David arranged this psalm in the beginning of the praising the lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 8 Acknowledge the lord! Call upon him by his name! Make known to the peoples his practices! 9 Sing to him, even sing praise to him! Describe all his wonders! what the lord did. 10 Give praise in [²name ¹his holy]! You shall be glad in heart seeking his good-pleasure. 11 Seek the lord, and be strong! Seek his face always! 12 Remember his wonders! what he did; his miracles and the judgments of his mouth. 13 Seed of Israel his servants; sons of Jacob his chosen. 14 He is the lord our God; [²are in ³all ⁴the ⁵earth ¹his judgments]. 15 Remember [²into ³the eon ¹his covenant]! his word which he gave charge to a thousand generations; 16 which he ordained with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac. 17 And he established it to Jacob for an order, and to Israel [²covenant ¹for an eternal]. 18 Saying, To you I shall give the land of Canaan, a piece of measured out land for your inheritance, 19 in the being of them very few in number, as few and sojourners in it. 20 And they went from nation to nation, and from kingdom to [²people ¹another]. 21 He did not allow a man to overpower them, and he reproved [²on account of ³them ¹kings], 22 Saying, Touch not my anointed ones! and among my prophets do not do wickedly. 23 Sing to the lord all the earth! announce from day to day his deliverance! 24 Describe among the nations his glory; to all the peoples his wonders! 25 For great is the lord, and praiseworthy exceedingly. He is fearful above all the gods. 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols; and the lord [²the ³heavens ¹made]. 27 Glory and high praise are before his face; strength and boasting are in [²place ¹his holy]. 28 Give to the lord, O families of the nations! Give to the lord glory and strength! 29 Give to the lord glory due his name! Take sacrifices, and enter before him! And do obeisance to the lord in [²courtyards ¹his holy]! 30 Fear before his face, all the earth! for even [³is set up ¹the ²inhabitable world], which shall not be shaken. 31 Be glad O heaven, and exult O earth! And let them say among the nations! the lord is reigning. 32 [³shall resonate ¹The ²sea] with the fullness of it; let [³exult ¹the ²field], and all the things in it! 33 Then [⁵shall be glad ¹the ²trees ³of the ⁴grove] before the face of the lord, for he comes to judge the earth. 34 Make acknowledgment to the lord for good! for [²into ³the ⁴eon ¹his mercy]. 35 And say, Deliver us, O God of our deliverance! And gather us, and rescue us from out of the nations! to praise your name, the holy one; to boast in your praises. 36 Blessed be the lord God of Israel from the eon and unto the eon. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], Amen. And they gave praise to the lord. 37 And was left behind there before the ark of the covenant of the lord Asaph and his brethren, to officiate before the ark continually to the matter, that of the day to its day. 38 And Obed Edom and his brethren -- sixty and eight. And Obed Edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were as gatekeepers. 39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren of the priests were before the tent of the lord in Bama, the one in Gibeon, 40 to offer whole burnt-offerings to the lord upon the altar of the whole burnt-offerings continually in the morning and the evening, and according to all the things being written in the law of the lord, as much as he gave charge unto the sons of Israel. 41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest, the ones being chosen by name to praise the lord, for [²is into ³the ⁴eon ¹his mercy]. 42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals to sound out loud, and instruments for the odes of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate. 43 And [⁵went ¹all ²the ³people ⁴each] to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
