King James Version

1 And they brought the Ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And David finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, and he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3 And he distributed to every man in Israel, from man to woman, to each person a piece of bread and a cake of raisins and a cake of dried figs. 4 And he gave before the Ark of the Lord from the Levites who were ministering, to commemorate, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel. 5 Asaph the chief and his second, Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shimiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel with the instruments of harps and with lyres, and Asaph with the cymbals makes a sound. 6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with the trumpets always before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 On that day, David appointed to give thanks to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brothers. 8 Give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples. 9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him, speak of all His wonders. 10 Praise in the name of His holiness; let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 11 Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 12 Remember my wonders and my miracles that I did and my judgments. 13 The seed of Israel, My servant, the children of Jacob, My chosen ones. 14 He is the LORD our God; in all the earth are his judgments. 15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations. 16 That He made a covenant with Abraham and His oath to Isaac. 17 And He set for Jacob a statute for Israel, an everlasting covenant. 18 To say to you, I give the land of Canaan, a portion of your inheritance. 19 When you are few in number and strangers in it. 20 And they wandered from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another people. 21 He did not permit a man to oppress them, and he reproved kings concerning them. 22 Do not touch My anointed ones and do not harm My prophets. 23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim from day to day His salvation. 24 Declare among the nations His glory, among all the peoples His wondrous deeds. 25 For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. 27 Glory and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His place. 28 Give to the Lord, O families of nations; give to the Lord glory and strength. 29 Give to the Lord glory of His name; bring an offering and come before Him; worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness. 30 Let all the earth tremble before me; indeed, the world is established; it shall not be moved. 31 Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” 32 The sea will roar, and the fullness of it will raise the field and all that is in it. 33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord, for he has come to judge the earth. 34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. 35 And they said, "Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to glory in your praise." 36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord. 37 And he left there in front of the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD to serve before the Ark continually, for the matter of each day in its day. 38 And Obed Edom and his brothers were sixty and eight, and Obed Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for the porters. 39 And Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the Tabernacle of the Lord at the high place that was in Gibeon. 40 To offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of the burnt offering continually, in the morning and in the evening, and for all that is written in the law of the Lord that He commanded concerning Israel. 41 And with them were Heman, and Jeduthun, and the rest of the chosen ones who were designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, for His steadfast love endures forever. 42 And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for making a sound and the musical instruments of God, and the sons of Jeduthun at the gate. 43 And all the people went, each man to his house, and David returned to bless his house.
