1 Chronicles 16:23-43 ▼

23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim His salvation from day to day.

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

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

26 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; But the LORD made the heavens.

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

28 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

29 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; The world also is established that it cannot be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; For His mercy endureth for ever.

35 And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us together and deliver us from the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise.'

36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.

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

38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;

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

40 to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon 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 unto Israel;

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endureth for ever;

42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

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