I Chronicles

Chapter 16

1 So they brought the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
and set it in the midst of the tent
that David had pitched for it.

And they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings
before 'Elohiym/Godhead.

2 And when David had made an end
of offering the burnt offerings
and the peace offerings,
he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah/God.

3 And he {David} dealt to every one of Israel,
both man and woman,
to every one a loaf of bread,
and a good piece of meat/flesh,
and a flagon of wine.

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites
to minister before the ark of Jehovah/God,
and to record,
and to thank and praise Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel.

5 Asaph the chief,
and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth,
and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab,
and Benaiah, and Obededom and Jeiel
with psalteries and with harps;
but Asaph made a sound with cymbals; 6
Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually
before the ark of the covenant of 'Elohiym/Godhead.

 7 Then on that day
David delivered first this psalm
to thank Jehovah/God
into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 Give thanks unto Jehovah/God,
call upon His name . . .
make known His deeds among the people.

9 Sing unto Him,
sing psalms unto Him,
talk you of all His wondrous works.

10 Glory you in His Holy Name.

Let the heart of them rejoice who seek Jehovah/God.

11 Seek Jehovah/God and His strength . . .
seek His face continually.

12 Remember His marvelous works
that He has done,
His wonders,
and the judgments of His mouth.

13 O you seed of Israel His servant,
you children of Jacob,
His chosen ones.

14 He is Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead;
His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Be you mindful always of His covenant;
the word which He commanded to a thousand generations . . . 16
even of the covenant which He made with Abraham,
and of His oath unto Isaac; 17
and has confirmed the same to Jacob for a law,
and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 18
saying, Unto you will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance; 19
when you were but few, even a few,
and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation,
and from one kingdom to another people; 21
He suffered no man to do them wrong.

Yes, He reproved kings for their sakes, 22
saying, Touch not My anointed,
and do My prophets no harm.

23 Sing unto Jehovah/God, all the earth;
show forth from day to day his salvation.

24 Declare His glory among the heathen;
His marvelous works among all nations.

25 For great is Jehovah/God,
and greatly to be praised.

He also is to be feared/respected above all 'elohiym/gods.

26 For all the 'elohiym/gods of the people are idols.

But Jehovah/God made the heavens.

27 Glory and honor are in His presence;
strength and gladness are in His place.

28 Give unto Jehovah/God,
you kindreds of the people,
give unto Jehovah/God glory and strength.

29 Give unto Jehovah/God
the glory due unto His Name.

Bring an offering, and come before Him.

Worship Jehovah/God in the beauty of holiness.

30 Fear/Respect before Him, all the earth.

The world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.

And let men say among the nations, Jehovah/God reigns.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.

Let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out
at the presence of Jehovah/God,
because He comes to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks unto Jehovah/God;
for He is good;
for His mercy endures forever.

35 And say you,
Deliver/Save us, O 'Elohiym/Godhead of our salvation,
and gather us together,
and deliver us from the heathen,
that we may give thanks to Your holy name,
and glory in Your praise.

36 Blessed be Jehovah/God
'Elohiym/Godhead of Israel
forever and ever.

And all the people said,
"Amen", and praised Jehovah/God.

37 So he left there
before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah/God
Asaph and his brethren,
to minister before the ark continually,
as every day's work required.

38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight;
Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters.

39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests,
before the tabernacle of Jehovah/God
in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40
to offer burnt offerings unto Jehovah/God
upon the altar of the burnt offering continually
morning and evening,
and to do according to all
that is written in the law of Jehovah/God,
which He commanded Israel; 41
and with them
Heman and Jeduthun,
and the rest that were chosen,
who were expressed by name,
to give thanks to Jehovah/God,
because His mercy endures forever; 42
and with them
Heman and Jeduthun
with trumpets and cymbals
for those who should make a sound,
and with musical instruments of 'Elohiym/Godhead.

And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

43 And all the people departed every man to his house.

And David returned to bless his house.
