| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations, |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, As the portion of your inheritance." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm." |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in holy array. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD; For He is coming to judge the earth. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Then say, "Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise." |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required; |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38and Obed-edom with his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place which was at Gibeon, |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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 law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Then all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to bless his household. |
