* And they brought in the ark of God , and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it , and they offered burnt - offerings and peace-offerings before God . * And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings , he blessed the people in the name of the LORD . * And he dealt to every one of Israel , both man and woman , to every one a loaf of bread , and a cake made in a pan , and a sweet cake . * And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD , and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD , the God of Israel : * Asaph the chief , and second to him Zechariah , Jeiel , and Shemiramoth , and Jehiel , and Mattithiah , and Eliab , and Benaiah , and Obed-edom , and Jeiel , with psalteries and with harps ; and Asaph with cymbals , sounding aloud ; * and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually , before the ark of the covenant of God . * Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD , by the hand of Asaph and his brethren . * O give thanks unto the LORD , call upon His name ; make known His doings among the peoples . * Sing unto Him , sing praises unto Him ; speak ye of all His marvellous works . * Glory ye in His holy name ; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD . * Seek ye the LORD and His strength ; seek His face continually . * Remember His marvellous works that He hath done , His wonders , and the judgments of His mouth ; * O ye seed of Israel His servant , ye children of Jacob , His chosen ones . * He is the LORD our God ; His judgments are in all the earth . * Remember His covenant for ever , the word which He commanded to a thousand generations ; * The covenant which He made with Abraham , and His oath unto Isaac ; * And He established it unto Jacob for a statute , to Israel for an everlasting covenant ; * Saying : 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan , the lot of your inheritance .' * When ye were but a few men in number , yea , very few , and sojourners in it , * And when they went about from nation to nation , and from one kingdom to another people , * He suffered no man to do them wrong , yea , for their sake He reproved kings : * 'Touch not Mine anointed ones , and do My prophets no harm .' * Sing unto the LORD , all the earth ; proclaim His salvation from day to day . * Declare His glory among the nations , His marvellous works among all the peoples . * For great is the LORD , and highly to be praised ; He also is to be feared above all gods . * For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought ; but the LORD made the heavens . * Honour and majesty are before Him ; strength and gladness are in His place . * Ascribe unto the LORD , ye kindreds of the peoples , ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength . * Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name ; bring an offering , and come before Him ; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness . * Tremble before Him , all the earth ; the world also is established that it cannot be moved . * Let the heavens be glad , and let the earth rejoice ; and let them say among the nations : 'The LORD reigneth .' * Let the sea roar , and the fulness thereof ; let the field exult , and all that is therein ; * Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy , before the LORD , for He is come to judge the earth . * O give thanks unto the LORD ; for He is good ; for His mercy endureth for ever . * 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 unto Thy holy name , that we may triumph in Thy praise .' * Blessed be the LORD , the God of Israel , from everlasting even to everlasting . And all the people said : 'Amen ,' and praised the LORD . * So he left there , before the ark of the covenant of the LORD , Asaph and his brethren , to minister before the ark continually , as every day 's work required ; * and Obed-edom with their brethren , threescore and eight ; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers ; * and Zadok the priest , and his brethren the priests , before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon , * to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening , even according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD , which He commanded unto Israel ; * and with them Heman and Jeduthun , and the rest that were chosen , who were mentioned by name , to give thanks to the LORD , because His mercy endureth for ever ; * and with them Heman and Jeduthun , to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals , and with instruments for the songs of God ; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate . * And all the people departed every man to his house ; and David returned to bless his house .
