1 Chronicles 16:28-43 ▼

28 Give to YHWH, O families of peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

29 Ascribe to YHWH the honor of His name; bring an offering and come before His face. Worship YHWH in the beauty of holiness;

30 tremble before Him all the earth. Indeed the world is firmly established; it shall not be moved.

31 Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, ‘YHWH reigns.’

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

33 Then the trees of the forest shall rejoice before YHWH, for He is coming to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to YHWH, for He is good; His loving devotion is even to forever.

35 And say, ‘Save us, O God of our salvation, and Gather us together, and snatch us up from the Gentiles, to give thanks to Your holy name, to glory in Your praise.’

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

37 And he left there before the face of the ark of the covenant of YHWH Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the face of the ark regularly, according to the matter of a day in its day,

38 and Obed-edom and their brothers, sixty-eight, and Obed-edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be gatekeepers,

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

40 to offer burnt offerings to YHWH on the altar of the burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and for all that is written in the Law of YHWH, which He commanded upon Israel,

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen, who were designated by name to give thanks to YHWH, because “His loving devotion is forever.”

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

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