*
And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD ,
to commemorate ,
to thank ,
and to praise the LORD God of Israel :
*
Asaph the chief ,
and next to him Zechariah ,
then Jeiel ,
Shemiramoth ,
Jehiel ,
Mattithiah ,
Eliab ,
Benaiah ,
and Obed-Edom :
Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps ,
but Asaph made music with cymbals ;
*
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God .
*
On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren ,
to thank the LORD :
*
Oh ,
give thanks to the LORD !
Call upon His name ;
Make known His deeds among the peoples !
*
Sing to Him ,
sing psalms to Him ;
Talk of all His wondrous works !
*
Glory in His holy name ;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the LORD !
*
Seek the LORD and His strength ;
Seek His face evermore !
*
Remember His marvelous works which He has done ,
His wonders ,
and the judgments of His mouth ,
*
O seed of Israel His servant ,
You children of Jacob ,
His chosen ones !
*
He is the LORD our God ;
His judgments are in all the earth .
*
Remember His covenant forever ,
The word which He commanded ,
for a thousand generations ,
*
The covenant which He made with Abraham ,
And His oath to Isaac ,
*
And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute ,
To Israel for an everlasting covenant ,
*
Saying , "
To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance ,"
*
When you were few in number ,
Indeed very few ,
and strangers in it .
*
When they went from one nation to another ,
And from one kingdom to another people ,
*
He permitted no man to do them wrong ;
Yes ,
He rebuked kings for their sakes ,
*
Saying , "
Do not touch My anointed ones ,
And do My prophets no harm ."
*
Sing to the LORD ,
all the earth ;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day .
*
Declare His glory among the nations ,
His wonders among all peoples .
*
For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised ;
He is also to be feared above all gods .
*
For all the gods of the peoples are idols ,
But the LORD made the heavens .
*
Honor and majesty are before Him ;
Strength and gladness are in His place .
*
Give to the LORD ,
O families of the peoples ,
Give to the LORD glory and strength .
*
Give to the LORD the glory due His name ;
Bring an offering ,
and come before Him .
Oh ,
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness !
*
Tremble before Him ,
all the earth .
The world also is firmly established ,
It shall not be moved .
*
Let the heavens rejoice ,
and let the earth be glad ;
And let them say among the nations , "
The LORD reigns ."
*
Let the sea roar ,
and all its fullness ;
Let the field rejoice ,
and all that is in it .
*
Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the LORD ,
For He is coming to judge the earth .
*
Oh ,
give thanks to the LORD ,
for He is good !
For His mercy endures forever .
*
And say , "
Save us ,
O God of our salvation ;
Gather us together ,
and deliver us from the Gentiles ,
To give thanks to Your holy name ,
To triumph in Your praise ."
*
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting !
And all the people said , "
Amen !"
and praised the LORD .
