And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God; |
2. |
and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah, |
3. |
and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake. |
4. |
And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel, |
5. |
Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding; |
6. |
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests `are' with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God. |
7. |
On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: -- |
8. |
Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings. |
9. |
Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders. |
10. |
Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah. |
11. |
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually. |
12. |
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth, |
13. |
O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! |
14. |
He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments. |
15. |
Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded -- To a thousand generations, |
16. |
Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath -- to Isaac, |
17. |
And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during. |
18. |
Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance, |
19. |
When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it. |
20. |
And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people. |
21. |
He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings: |
22. |
Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil. |
23. |
Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation. |
24. |
Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders. |
25. |
For great `is' Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He `is' above all gods. |
26. |
For all gods of the peoples `are' nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made. |
27. |
Honour and majesty `are' before Him, Strength and joy `are' in His place. |
28. |
Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength. |
29. |
Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness. |
30. |
Be pained before Him, all the earth: |
31. |
Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned. |
32. |
Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that `is' in it, |
33. |
Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth! |
34. |
Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, `is' His kindness, |
35. |
And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise. |
36. |
Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, `Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah. |
37. |
And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day, |
38. |
both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers, |
39. |
and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that `is' in Gibeon, |
40. |
to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel. |
41. |
And with them `are' Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age `is' His kindness, |
42. |
and with them -- Heman and Jeduthun -- `are' trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun `are' at the gate. |
43. |
And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house. |
