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.
And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched 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.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings 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 assae carnis bubalae, et frixam oleo similam.
And he dealt out to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
4 Constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis, qui ministrarent, et recordarentur operum eius, et glorificarent, atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israel:
And he placed before the ark of the Lord several of the Levites as ministers, and to chaunt hymns, and to give praise and thanks unto the Lord the God of Israel:
5 Asaph principem, et secundum eius Zachariam: Porro Iahiel, et Semiramoth, et Iehiel, et Mathathiam, et Eliab, et Banaiam, et Obededom: Iehiel super organa psalterii, et lyras: Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret;
Assaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah; Je'iel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and Matthithyah, and Eliab, and Benayahu, and 'Obed-edom; and Je'iel with psalteries and with harps; but Assaph played aloud with the cymbals.
6 Banaiam vero, et Iaziel sacerdotes, canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini.
And Benayahu and Jachaziel the priests were with the trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 In illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph, et fratres eius.
On that day—then did David appoint for the first time to give thanks to the Lord through means of Assaph and his brethren.
8 Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen eius: notas facite in populis adinventiones eius.
O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name; make known among the people his deeds.
9 Cantate ei, et psallite ei: et narrate omnia mirabilia eius.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him: speak of all his wonderful works.
10 Laudate nomen sanctum eius: laetetur cor quaerentium Dominum.
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.
11 Quaerite Dominum, et virtutem eius: quaerite faciem eius semper.
Inquire after the Lord and his strength: seek his presence evermore.
12 Recordamini mirabilium eius quae fecit: signorum illius, et iudiciorum oris eius.

13 Semen Israel servi eius: filii Iacob electi eius.
O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
14 Ipse Dominus Deus noster: in universa terra iudicia eius.
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.
15 Recordamini in sempiternum pacti eius: sermonis, quem praecepit in mille generationes.
Remember ye for ever his covenant, the word which he hath commanded to the thousandth generation.
16 Quem pepigit cum Abraham: et iuramenti illius cum Isaac.
Which he covenanted with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
17 Et constituit illud Iacob in praeceptum: et Israel in pactum sempiternum,
And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant;
18 Dicens: Tibi dabo Terram Chanaan, funiculum hereditatis vestrae.
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance;
19 Cum essent pauci numero, parvi et coloni eius.
When ye were but few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
20 Et transierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
And when they wandered from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people:
21 Non dimisit quemquam calumniari eos, sed increpavit pro eis reges.
He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake.
22 Nolite tangere christos meos: et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
Saying, “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.”—

Sing unto the Lord all ye lands: announce from day to day his salvation.
24 Narrate in gentibus gloriam eius: in cunctis populis mirabilia eius.
Relate among the nations his glory: among all the people his wonderful deeds.
25 Quia magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis: et horribilis super omnes deos.
For great is the Lord, and greatly praised; and he is to be feared above all gods.
26 Omnes enim dii populorum, idola: Dominus autem caelos fecit.
For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord hath made the heavens.
27 Confessio et magnificentia coram eo: fortitudo et gaudium in loco eius.
Majesty and honor are in his presence, strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Afferte Domino familiae populorum: afferte Domino gloriam et imperium.
Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of people, ascribe unto the Lord glory and strength.
29 Date Domino gloriam, nomini eius, levate sacrificium, et venite in conspectu eius: et adorate Dominum in decore sancto.
Ascribe unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; take up an offering, and come into his presence; bow down before the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
30 Commoveatur a facie eius omnis terra: ipse enim fundavit orbem immobilem.
Tremble before him, all ye lands! Also the world standeth firmly, that it be not moved.
31 Laetentur caeli, et exultet terra: et dicant in nationibus, Dominus regnavit.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
32 Tonet mare, et plenitudo eius: exultent agri, et omnia quae in eis sunt.
Let the sea roar, with all that filleth it: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Tunc laudabunt ligna saltus coram Domino: quia venit iudicare terram.
Then shall the trees of the forest sing joyfully at the presence of the Lord; because he cometh to judge the earth.
34 Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus: quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; because unto everlasting endureth his kindness.
35 Et dicite: Salva nos Deus salvator noster; et congrega nos, et erue de gentibus, ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et exultemus in carminibus tuis.
And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, to glorify ourselves in thy praise.
36 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel ab aeterno usque in aeternum: et dicat omnis populo: Amen, et hymnum Deo.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting even unto everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praise unto the Lord.

And he left there in charge before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Assaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, at the work of every day on its day,

And 'Obed-edom with their brethren, sixty and eight, and 'Obed-edom the son of Jeduthun and Chossah to be gatekeepers;

And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord, in the high-place that was at Gib'on,
40 ut offerrent holocausta Domino super altare holocautomatis iugiter, mane et vesperi, iuxta omnia quae scripta sunt in lege Domini, quam praecepit Israeli.
To offer burnt-offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt-offering continually at morning and at evening, and this in accordance with all that is written in the law of the Lord which he had commanded concerning Israel;
41 Et post eum Heman, et Idithun, et reliquos electos, unumquemque vocabulo suo ad confitendum Domino: Quoniam in aeternum misericordia eius.
And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were selected who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness;
42 Heman quoque, et Idithun canentes tuba, et quatientes cymbala, et omnia musicorum organa ad canendum Domino; filios autem Idithun fecit esse portarios.
And with them, with Heman and Jeduthun, the trumpets and cymbals to play aloud, and the musical instruments of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be for the service at the gate.
43 Reversusque est omnis populus in domum suam: et David, ut benediceret etiam domui suae.
And all the people went every man to his house; and David turned about to bless his house.
