* So they brought in the ark of God , and placed it in the midst of the tent , which David had pitched for it , and they brought near ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings , before God . * And , when David had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifices , and the peace-offerings , he blessed the people , in the name of Yahweh . * And he apportioned , to every one of Israel , both man and woman , to every one , a loaf of bread , and a sweet drink , and a raisin cake . * And he placed before the ark of Yahweh certain of the Levites , as attendants , and to celebrate , and to give thanks and render praise , unto Yahweh , 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 instruments of harps , and with lyres , and Asaph with cymbals , sounding aloud : * and Benaiah and Jahaziel , the priests , with trumpets continually , before the ark of the covenant of God . * On that day , then , David gave in chief , to give thanks unto Yahweh , through Asaph , and his brethren : * Give ye thanks to Yahweh , Call upon his name , Make known among the peoples , his doings ; * Sing ye to him , Make music unto him , Speak ye of all his wonders . * Boast yourselves in his holy name , Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh . * Search out Yahweh , and his power , Seek diligently his face , at all times . * Remember his wonders which he hath done , His splendid deeds , and the just decisions of his mouth . * O ye seed of Israel his servant , sons of Jacob his chosen ones : * Yahweh himself , is our God , through all the land , are his just decisions . * Remember yea to times age-abiding , his covenant , the word he hath commanded , to a thousand generations ; * Which he solemnised with Abraham , and his oath , to Isaac ; * And confirmed it , unto Jacob , for a statute , unto Israel , as a covenant age-abiding : * Saying , To thee , will I give the land of Canaan , as your inherited portion : * While , as yet , ye were men who could be counted , a very few , and sojourners therein : * And they wandered from nation to nation , and from one kingdom , to another people : * He suffered no man to oppress them , And reprovedfor their sakeskings ! * Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones , And , to my Prophets , may ye do no wrong . * Sing to Yahweh , all the earth , Tell the tidings , from day to day , of his salvation : * Recount , among the nations , his glory , among all the peoples , his wonders . * For great is Yahweh , and worthy to be mightily praised , and to be revered is he above all gods ; * For , all the gods of the peoples , are things of nought , but , Yahweh , made , the heavens . * Praise and majesty , are before him , Strength and joy , are in his dwelling-place . * Give to Yahweh , ye families of the peoples , Give to Yahweh , glory and strength : * Give to Yahweh , the glory of his name , Bring ye a present , and enter before him , Bow down to Yahweh , in the adornment of holiness : * Tremble at his presence , all the earth , But the world , shall be established , it shall not be shaken . * Let the heavens rejoice , and the earth exult , Let them say among the nations , Yahweh , hath become king ! * Let the sea roar , and the fulness thereof , Let the field leap for joy , and all that is therein : * Then , shall shout in triumph , the trees of the forest , before Yahweh , for he is coming , to judge the earth . * Give ye thanks unto Yahweh , For he is good , For , age-abiding , is his lovingkindness . * And say ye , Save us , O God of our salvation , and gather us and deliver us , from among the nations , that we may give thanks unto thy holy name , that we may triumph aloud in thy praise . * Blessed be Yahweh , God of Israel , from one age even to another age . Then said all the people , Amen , And gave praise to Yahweh . * So he left there , before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh , Asaph and his brethren , to be in attendance before the ark continually , for the duty of a day on its day ; * and Obed-edom with his brethren , sixty-eight , and Obed-edom son of Jedithun and Hosah to be doorkeepers ; * and Zadok the priest , and his brethren the priests , before the habitation of Yahweh , in the high place that was in Gibeon : * to offer ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh , upon the altar of ascending-sacrifice , continually , morning and evening , even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh , which he commanded concerning Israel ; * and , with them , Heman and Jeduthun , and the rest of the chosen ones , who were distinguished by name , to give thanks unto Yahweh , For , age-abiding , is his lovingkindness ! * And , with them , Heman and Jeduthun , the trumpets , and the cymbals , for sounding aloud , and the instruments for the songs of God , and the sons of Jeduthun , for the gate . * And all the people departed , every man to his house , and David went round , to bless his own household .
