I Paralipomenon 16
1 Attulerunt igitur arcam Dei, et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David: et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo.
They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 Cumque complesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica, benedixit populo in nomine Domini.
When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 Et divisit universis per singulos, a viro usque ad mulierem, tortam panis, et partem assæ carnis bubalæ, et frixam oleo similam.
He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum ejus, et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israël:
He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
5 Asaph principem, et secundum ejus Zachariam: porro Jahiel, et Semiramoth, et Jehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Jehiel super organa psalterii et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret:
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 Banaiam vero et Jaziel sacerdotes canere tuba jugiter coram arca fœderis Domini.
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres ejus:
Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
8 Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus: notas facite in populis adinventiones ejus.

18 dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ:
saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
19 cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni ejus.
when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
20 Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
21 Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.

31 Lætentur cæli, et exultet terra, et dicant in nationibus: Dominus regnavit.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.
37 Reliquit itaque ibi coram arca fœderis Domini Asaph et fratres ejus, ut ministrarent in conspectu arcæ jugiter per singulos dies, et vices suas.
So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded to Israel;
41 Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino, quoniam in æternum misericordia ejus.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;

and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
