* On that day ––then did David appoint for the first time to give thanks to the Lord through means of Assaph and his brethren . * O give thanks unto the Lord ; call on his name ; make known among the people his deeds . * Sing unto him , sing praises unto him : speak of all his wonderful works . * Glorify yourselves in his holy name : let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord . * Inquire after the Lord and his strength : seek his presence evermore . * Remember his wonderful works which he hath done , his tokens , and the decrees of his mouth ; * O ye seed of Israel his servant , ye children of Jacob , his elect . * He is the Lord our God : over all the earth are his decrees . * Remember ye for ever his covenant , the word which he hath commanded to the thousandth generation . * Which he covenanted with Abraham , and his oath unto Isaac ; * And which he established unto Jacob as a statute , unto Israel as an everlasting covenant ; * Saying , Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan , as the portion of your inheritance ; * When ye were but few men in number ; yea , very few , and strangers in it . * And when they wandered from one nation to another , and from one kingdom to another people : * He suffered no man to oppress them ; yea , he reproved kings for their sake . * Saying , "Touch not my anointed , and do my prophets no harm ."–– * Sing unto the Lord all ye lands : announce from day to day his salvation . * Relate among the nations his glory : among all the people his wonderful deeds . * For great is the Lord , and greatly praised ; and he is to be feared above all gods . * For all the gods of the people are idols : but the Lord hath made the heavens . * Majesty and honor are in his presence , strength and gladness are in his place . * Ascribe unto the Lord , O ye families of people , ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength . * Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto his name ; take up an offering , and come into his presence ; bow down before the Lord in the beauty of holiness . * Tremble before him , all ye lands ! Also the world standeth firmly , that it be not moved . * Let the heavens rejoice , and let the earth be glad ; and let men say among the nations , The Lord reigneth . * Let the sea roar , with all that filleth it : let the fields rejoice , and all that is therein . * Then shall the trees of the forest sing joyfully at the presence of the Lord ; because he cometh to judge the earth . * O give thanks unto the Lord ; for he is good ; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness . * 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 to thy holy name , to glorify ourselves in thy praise . * Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting even unto everlasting . And all the people said , Amen , and praise unto the Lord . * And he left there in charge before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Assaph and his brethren , to minister before the ark continually , at the work of every day on its day , * And ‘Obed –edom with their brethren , sixty and eight , and ‘Obed –edom the son of Jeduthun and Chossah to be gatekeepers ; * And Zadok the priest , and his brethren the priests , before the tabernacle of the Lord , in the high –place that was at Gib ’on , * To offer burnt –offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt –offering continually at morning and at evening , and this in accordance with all that is written in the law of the Lord which he had commanded concerning Israel ; * And with them Heman and Jeduthun , and the rest that were selected who were expressed by name , to give thanks to the Lord , because unto everlasting endureth his kindness ; * And with them , with Heman and Jeduthun , the trumpets and cymbals to play aloud , and the musical instruments of God ; and the sons of Jeduthun to be for the service at the gate . * And all the people went every man to his house ; and David turned about to bless his house .
