1 Chronicles 16

1 So they brought in the Arke of God, and set it in the middes of the Tabernacle that Dauid had pitched for it, and they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God.

And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;

2 And when Dauid had made an ende of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, hee blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.

and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,

3 And he dealt to euery one of Israel both man and woman, to euery one a cake of breade, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of wine.

and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.

4 And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to rehearse and to thanke and prayse the Lord God of Israel:

And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,

5 Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zechariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom, euen Ieiel with instruments, violes and harpes, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbales,

Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;

6 And Benaiah and Iahaziel Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.

and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then at that time Dauid did appoint at the beginning to giue thankes to the Lord by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: —

8 Praise the Lord and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.

Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.

9 Sing vnto him, sing praise vnto him, and talke of all his wonderfull workes.

Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.

10 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seeke the Lord reioyce.

Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.

11 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.

Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.

12 Remember his marueilous workes that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,

13 O seede of Israel his seruant, O the children of Iaakob his chosen.

O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are throughout all the earth.

He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.

15 Remember his couenant for euer, and the worde, which hee commanded to a thousand generations:

Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded — To a thousand generations,

16 Which he made with Abraham, and his othe to Izhak:

Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath — to Isaac,

17 And hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a Law, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,

And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during.

18 Saying, To thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,

19 When ye were fewe in number, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,

When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.

20 And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people,

And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying,

He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:

22 Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme.

Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.

23 Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day.

Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation.

24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people.

Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders.

25 For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods.

For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He [is] above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens.

For all gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.

27 Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place.

Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and joy [are] in His place.

28 Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.

Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

29 Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

30 Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue.

Be pained before Him, all the earth:

31 Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.

32 Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: Let the field be ioyfull and all that is in it.

Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that [is] in it,

33 Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth.

Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!

34 Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.

Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, [is] His kindness,

35 And say ye, Saue vs, O God, our saluation, and gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may prayse thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.

And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.

36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord.

Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, 'Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah.

37 Then he left there before the Arke of the Lordes couenant Asaph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euery day:

And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,

38 And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.

to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.

41 And with them were Heman, and Ieduthun, and the rest that were chosen (which were appointed by names) to praise the Lord, because his mercie endureth for euer.

And with them [are] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness,

43 And all the people departed, euerie man to his house: and Dauid returned to blesse his house.

And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
