ASV_Strong : 1 Chronicles 16
1. And they brought[H935] in the ark[H727] of God[H430], and set[H3322] it in the midst[H8432] of the tent[H168] that David[H1732] had pitched[H5186] for it[H7126]: and they offered burnt-offerings[H8002] and peace-offerings[H8002] before[H6440] God[H430].
2. And when David[H1732] had made an end[H3615] of offering[H5927] the burnt-offering[H5930] and the peace-offerings[H8002], he blessed[H1288] the people[H5971] in the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068].
3. And he dealt[H2505] to every one[H376] of Israel[H3478], both man[H376] and woman[H802], to every one[H376] a loaf[H3603] of bread[H3899], and a portion of flesh[H829], and a cake of raisins[H809].
4. And he appointed[H5414] certain of the Levites[H3881] to minister[H8334] before[H6440] the ark[H727] of Jehovah[H3068], and to celebrate[H2142] and to thank[H3034] and praise[H1984] Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478]:
5. Asaph[H623] the chief[H7218], and second[H4932] to him Zechariah[H2148], Jeiel[H3273], and Shemiramoth[H8070], and Jehiel[H3171], and Mattithiah[H4993], and Eliab[H446], and Benaiah[H1141], and Obed-edom[H5654], and Jeiel[H3273], with psalteries[H5035] and with harps[H3658]; and Asaph[H623] with cymbals[H4700], sounding aloud[H8085];
6. and Benaiah[H1141] and Jahaziel[H3166] the priests[H3548] with trumpets[H2689] continually[H8548], before[H6440] the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of God[H430].
7. Then on that day[H3117] did David[H1732] first[H7218] ordain[H5414] to give thanks[H3034] unto Jehovah[H3068], by the hand[H3027] of Asaph[H623] and his brethren[H251].
8. O give thanks[H3034] unto Jehovah[H3068], call[H7121] upon his name[H8034]; Make known[H3045] his doings[H5949] among the peoples[H5971].
9. Sing[H7891] unto him[H2167], sing praises unto him[H7878]; Talk ye of all his marvellous works[H6381].
10. Glory[H1984] ye in his holy[H6944] name[H8034]; Let the heart[H3820] of them rejoice[H8055] that seek[H1245] Jehovah[H3068].
11. Seek[H1875] ye Jehovah[H3068] and his strength[H5797]; Seek[H1245] his face[H6440] evermore[H8548].
12. Remember[H2142] his marvellous[H6381] works that he hath done[H6213], His wonders[H4159], and the judgments[H4941] of his mouth[H6310],
13. O ye seed[H2233] of Israel[H3478] his servant[H5650], Ye children[H1121] of Jacob[H3290], his chosen ones[H972].
14. He is Jehovah[H3068] our God[H430]; His judgments[H4941] are in all the earth[H776].
15. Remember[H2142] his covenant[H1285] for ever[H5769], The word[H1697] which he commanded[H6680] to a thousand[H505] generations[H1755],
16. The covenant which he made[H3772] with Abraham[H85], And his oath[H7621] unto Isaac[H3327],
17. And confirmed[H5975] the same unto Jacob[H3290] for a statute[H2706], To Israel[H3478] for an everlasting[H5769] covenant[H1285],
18. Saying[H559], Unto thee will I give[H5414] the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], The lot[H2256] of your inheritance[H5159];
19. When ye were but a few[H4557] men in number[H4592], Yea, very few, and sojourners in it[H1481];
20. And they went[H1980] about from nation[H1471] to nation[H1471], And from one kingdom[H4467] to another[H312] people[H5971].
21. He suffered[H3240] no man[H376] to do them wrong[H6231]; Yea[H3198], he reproved kings for their sakes[H4428],
22. Saying[H5060], Touch not mine anointed[H4899] ones[H5030], And do my prophets no harm[H7489].
23. Sing[H7891] unto Jehovah[H3068], all the earth[H776]; Show forth[H1319] his salvation[H3444] from day[H3117] to day[H3117].
24. Declare[H5608] his glory[H3519] among the nations[H1471], His marvellous works[H6381] among all the peoples[H5971].
25. For great[H1419] is Jehovah[H3068], and greatly[H3966] to be praised[H1984]: He also is to be feared[H3372] above all gods[H430].
26. For all the gods[H430] of the peoples[H5971] are idols[H457]: But Jehovah[H3068] made[H6213] the heavens[H8064].
27. Honor[H1935] and majesty[H1935] are before him[H6440]: Strength[H5797] and gladness[H2304] are in his place[H4725].
28. Ascribe[H3051] unto Jehovah[H3068], ye kindreds[H4940] of the peoples[H5971], Ascribe[H3051] unto Jehovah[H3068] glory[H3519] and strength[H5797];
29. Ascribe[H3051] unto Jehovah[H3068] the glory[H3519] due unto his name[H8034]: Bring[H5375] an offering[H4503], and come[H935] before[H6440] him[H7812]: Worship Jehovah[H3068] in holy[H6944] array[H1927].
30. Tremble[H2342] before[H6440] him[H776], all the earth: The world[H8398] also is established[H3559] that it cannot be moved[H4131].
31. Let the heavens[H8064] be glad[H8055], and let the earth[H776] rejoice[H1523]; And let them say[H559] among the nations[H1471], Jehovah[H3068] reigneth[H4427].
32. Let the sea[H3220] roar[H7481], and the fulness[H4393] thereof[H7704]; Let the field exult[H5970], and all that is therein;
33. Then shall the trees[H6086] of the wood[H3293] sing for joy[H7442] before[H6440] Jehovah[H3068]; For he cometh[H935] to judge[H8199] the earth[H776].
34. O give thanks[H3034] unto Jehovah[H3068]; for he is good[H2896]; For his lovingkindness[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769].
35. And say[H559] ye[H3467], Save us[H430], O God of our salvation[H3468], And gather us together[H6908] and deliver[H5337] us from the nations[H1471], To give thanks[H3034] unto thy holy[H6944] name[H8034], And to triumph[H7623] in thy praise[H8416].
36. Blessed[H1288] be Jehovah[H3068], the God[H430] of Israel[H3478], From everlasting[H5769] even to everlasting[H5769]. And all the people[H5971] said[H559], Amen[H543], and praised[H1984] Jehovah[H3068].
37. So he left[H5800] there[H6440], before the ark[H727] of the covenant[H1285] of Jehovah[H3068], Asaph[H623] and his brethren[H251], to minister[H8334] before[H6440] the ark[H727] continually[H8548], as every day[H3117]'s work[H1697] required[H3117];
38. and Obed-edom[H5654] with their brethren[H251], threescore[H8346] and eight[H8083]; Obed-edom[H5654] also the son[H1121] of Jeduthun[H3038] and Hosah[H2621] to be doorkeepers[H7778];
39. and Zadok[H6659] the priest[H3548], and his brethren[H251] the priests[H3548], before[H6440] the tabernacle[H4908] of Jehovah[H3068] in the high place[H1116] that was at Gibeon[H1391],
40. to offer[H5927] burnt-offerings[H5930] unto Jehovah[H3068] upon the altar[H4196] of burnt-offering[H5930] continually[H8548] morning[H1242] and evening[H6153], even according to all that is written[H3789] in the law[H8451] of Jehovah[H3068], which he commanded[H6680] unto Israel[H3478];
41. and with them Heman[H1968] and Jeduthun[H3038], and the rest[H7605] that were chosen[H1305], who were mentioned[H5344] by name[H8034], to give thanks[H3034] to Jehovah[H3068], because his lovingkindness[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769];
42. and with them Heman[H1968] and Jeduthun[H3038] with trumpets[H2689] and cymbals[H4700] for those that should sound[H8085] aloud[H3627], and with instruments for the songs[H7892] of God[H430]; and the sons[H1121] of Jeduthun[H3038] to be at the gate[H8179].
43. And all the people[H5971] departed[H3212] every man[H376] to his house[H1004]: and David[H1732] returned[H5437] to bless[H1288] his house[H1004].
