1So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

1וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־ אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹת֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־ ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹל֥וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

2And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

2וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲל֥וֹת הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־ הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

3Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

3וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־ אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־ לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃

4And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel:

4וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲר֧וֹן יְהוָ֛ה מִן־ הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהוֹד֣וֹת וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ

5Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;

5אָסָ֥ף הָרֹ֖אשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵ֣הוּ זְכַרְיָ֑ה יְעִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמ֡וֹת וִֽיחִיאֵ֡ל וּמַתִּתְיָ֡ה וֶאֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָהוּ֩ וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֜ם וִֽיעִיאֵ֗ל בִּכְלֵ֤י נְבָלִים֙ וּבְכִנֹּר֔וֹת וְאָסָ֖ף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃

6Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.

6וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְר֣וֹת תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲר֥וֹן בְּרִית־ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

7On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the LORD:

7בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹד֖וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־ אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ פ

8Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

8הוֹד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמ֔וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃

9Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

9שִׁ֤ירוּ לוֹ֙ זַמְּרוּ־ ל֔וֹ שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־ נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

10Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD!

10הִֽתְהַֽלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֔וֹ יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

11Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

11דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזּ֔וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃

12Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

12זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־ פִֽיהוּ׃

13O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

13זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדּ֔וֹ בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

14He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

14ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

15Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

15זִכְר֤וּ לְעוֹלָם֙ בְּרִית֔וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃

16The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

16אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־ אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָת֖וֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃

17And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

17וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם׃

18Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,”

18לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃

19When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

19בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

20When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,

20וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־ גּ֔וֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־ עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃

21He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

21לֹא־ הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיּ֥וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃

22Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

22אַֽל־ תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־ תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ פ

23Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

23שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיּֽוֹם־ אֶל־ י֖וֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃

24Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

24סַפְּר֤וּ בַגּוֹיִם֙ אֶת־ כְּבוֹד֔וֹ בְּכָל־ הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

25For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

25כִּי֩ גָד֨וֹל יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנוֹרָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־ כָּל־ אֱלֹהִֽים׃

26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

26כִּ֠י כָּל־ אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃

27Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.

27ה֤וֹד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃

28Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.

28הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּח֣וֹת עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּב֥וֹד וָעֹֽז׃

29Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!

29הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּב֣וֹד שְׁמ֑וֹ שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

30Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.

30חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־ תִּכּ֥וֹן תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־ תִּמּֽוֹט׃

31Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”

31יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃

32Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.

32יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלוֹא֔וֹ יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ בּֽוֹ׃

33Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD, For He is coming to judge the earth.

33אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־ בָ֖א לִשְׁפּ֥וֹט אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

34Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

34הוֹד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

35And say, “Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.”

35וְאִמְר֕וּ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם לְהֹדוֹת֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

36Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the LORD.

36בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־ הָעוֹלָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־ הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ

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

37וַיַּֽעֲזָב־ שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָר֛וֹן תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־ י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃

38and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;

38וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמוֹנָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־ יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃

39and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place that was at Gibeon,

39וְאֵ֣ת ׀ צָד֣וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃

40to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD which He commanded Israel;

40לְֽהַעֲלוֹת֩ עֹל֨וֹת לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־ מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־ הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתוֹרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

41and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endures forever;

41וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמ֑וֹת לְהֹדוֹת֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

42and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.

42וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְר֤וֹת וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃

43Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

43וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־ הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵית֑וֹ וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־ בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ פ
