rsv 1Chronicles:16:1-39
rsv@1Chronicles:16:1 @ And they brought the ark of God, and set it inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:3 @ and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:4 @ Moreover he appointed certain of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:5 @ Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechari'ah, Je-i'el, Shemi'ramoth, Jehi'el, Mattithi'ah, Eli'ab, Benai'ah, O'bed-e'dom, and Je-i'el, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:6 @ and Benai'ah and Jaha'ziel the priests were to blow trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:7 @ Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the LORD by Asaph and his brethren.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:8 @ O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:9 @ Sing to him, sing praises to him, tell of all his wonderful works!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:10 @ Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:11 @ Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his presence continually!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember the wonderful works that he has done, the wonders he wrought, the judgments he uttered,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:13 @ O offspring of Abraham his servant, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:14 @ He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:15 @ He is mindful of his covenant for ever, of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:16 @ the covenant which he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:17 @ which he confirmed as a statute to Jacob, as an everlasting covenant to Israel,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:18 @ saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance."
rsv@1Chronicles:16:19 @ When they were few in number, and of little account, and sojourners in it,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:20 @ wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:21 @ he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:22 @ saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!"
rsv@1Chronicles:16:23 @ Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:24 @ Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:25 @ For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be held in awe above all gods.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:26 @ For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but the LORD made the heavens.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:27 @ Honor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:28 @ Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:29 @ Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come before him! Worship the LORD in holy array;
rsv@1Chronicles:16:30 @ tremble before him, all the earth; yea, the world stands firm, never to be moved.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:31 @ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns!"
rsv@1Chronicles:16:32 @ Let the sea roar, and all that fills it, let the field exult, and everything in it!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:33 @ Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:34 @ O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!
rsv@1Chronicles:16:35 @ Say also: "Deliver us, O God of our salvation, and gather and save us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!" Then all the people said "Amen!" and praised the LORD.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:37 @ So David left Asaph and his brethren there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister continually before the ark as each day required,
rsv@1Chronicles:16:38 @ and also O'bed-e'dom and his sixty-eight brethren; while O'bed-e'dom, the son of Jedu'thun, and Hosah were to be gatekeepers.
rsv@1Chronicles:16:39 @ And he left Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
