1 Chronicles 16:1-17 ▼

1 So they brought in the arke of God, and set it in the middest of the tent that Dauid pitched for it: And they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offringes before God.

2 And when Dauid had made an end of offring the burnt offringes and peace offringes, he blessed the people in the name of the Lorde.

3 And he dealt to all Israel both man and woman, a cracknel of bread, and a good peece of fleshe, and a flacket of wine.

4 And he appoynted certaine of the Leuites to minister before the arke of the Lord, and to repeate, and to thanke and prayse the Lorde God of Israel.

5 And Asaph was the chiefe, and nexte to him Zacharia, Ieiel, Semiramoth, Iehiel, Mathathia, Eliab, Benaia, Obed Edom, & Ieiel with instruments, psalteries, & harpes: But Asaph made a sounde with cymbales.

6 Banaia and Iahaziel priestes blewe with trumpettes continually before the arke of the couenaunt of God.

7 And that same tyme Dauid did appoynt chiefely to thanke the Lorde by Asaph and his brethren.

8 Confesse you it vnto God, call vpon his name: cause the people to vnderstande his deuises.

9 Sing vnto him, sing psalmes vnto him: talke you of all his wonderous workes.

10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them reioyce that do seeke God.

11 Seeke God and his strength: seeke his face euermore.

12 Remember the marueylous workes that he hath done: his wonders, and the iudgementes of his mouth,

13 O ye seede of Abraham his seruaunt, ye his chosen children of Iacob:

14 (16:13) he is God our Lorde, his iudgementes are in all the earth.

15 (16:14) He hath ben mindfull alwayes of his couenaunt (for he promysed a word to a thousande generations:)

16 (16:14) euen of his couenaunt that he made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac.

17 (16:15) And he appoynted the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenaunt.
