< 1 Chronicles 16 >

1 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;
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.
2 and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,
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.
3 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.
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.
4 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,
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;
5 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;
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:
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
and Benaiah and Jahaziel, the priests, —with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: —
On that day, then, David gave [these songs] in chief, to give thanks unto Yahweh, —through Asaph, and his brethren: —
8 Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.
Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his name, Make known among the peoples, his doings;
9 Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
Sing ye to him, Make music unto him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
10 Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.
Boast yourselves in his holy name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
11 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.
Search out Yahweh, and his power, Seek diligently his face, at all times.
12 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
Remember his wonders which he hath done, His splendid deeds, and the just decisions of his mouth.
13 O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
O ye seed of Israel his servant, sons of Jacob his chosen ones:
14 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
Yahweh himself, is our God, through all the land, are his just decisions.
15 Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded — To a thousand generations,
Remember yea to times age-abiding, his covenant, the word he hath commanded, to a thousand generations;
16 Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath — to Isaac,
Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
17 And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during.
And confirmed it, unto Jacob, for a statute, unto Israel, as a covenant age-abiding:
18 Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, as your inherited portion:
19 When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
While, as yet, ye were men who could be counted, a very few, and sojourners therein:
20 And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.
And they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom, to another people:
21 He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:
He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—kings!
22 Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.
Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.

For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, and to be revered is he above all gods;
26 For all gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.
For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought, but, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
27 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and joy [are] in His place.
Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and joy, are in his dwelling-place.
28 Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength:
29 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.
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:
30 Be pained before Him, all the earth:
Tremble at his presence, all the earth, But the world, shall be established, it shall not be shaken.
31 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.
Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let them say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become king!
32 Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that [is] in it,
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof, Let the field leap for joy, and all that is therein:
33 Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!
Then, shall shout in triumph, the trees of the forest, before Yahweh, for he is coming, to judge the earth.
34 Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, [is] His kindness,
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.
36 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.
Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even to another age. Then said all the people, Amen, And gave praise to Yahweh.
37 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,
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;

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;
41 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,
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!
42 and with them — Heman and Jeduthun — [are] trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [are] at the gate.
And, with them, Heman and Jeduthun, [with] the trumpets, and the cymbals, for sounding aloud, and the instruments for the songs of God, —and the sons of Jeduthun, for the gate.
43 And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
And all the people departed, every man to his house, —and David went round, to bless his own household.
