1Chronicles - Chapter 16 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
  • 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 the LORD.
  • 3. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon {cf15I of wine}.
  • 4. And he appointed {cf15I certain} of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God 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 God.
  • 7. Then on that day David delivered first {cf15I this psalm} to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
  • 8. Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
  • 9. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
  • 10. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
  • 11. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
  • 12. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
  • 13. O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
  • 14. He {cf15I is} the LORD our God; his judgments {cf15I are} in all the earth.
  • 15. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word {cf15I which} he commanded to a thousand generations;
  • 16. {cf15I Even of the covenant} which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
  • 17. And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, {cf15I and} to Israel {cf15I for} an everlasting covenant,
  • 18. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
  • 19. When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
  • 20. And {cf15I when} they went from nation to nation, and from {cf15I one} kingdom to another people;
  • 21. He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
  • 22. {cf15I Saying}, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
  • 23. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
  • 24. Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
  • 25. For great {cf15I is} the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also {cf15I is} to be feared above all gods.
  • 26. For all the gods of the people {cf15I are} idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
  • 27. Glory and honour {cf15I are} in his presence; strength and gladness {cf15I are} in his place.
  • 28. Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
  • 29. Give unto the LORD the glory {cf15I due} unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
  • 30. Fear 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 {cf15I men} say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
  • 32. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that {cf15I is} therein.
  • 33. Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.
  • 34. O give thanks unto the LORD; for {cf15I he is} good; for his mercy {cf15I endureth} for ever.
  • 35. And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, {cf15I and} glory in thy praise.
  • 36. Blessed {cf15I be} the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
  • 37. So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD 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 {cf15I to be} porters:
  • 39. And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that {cf15I was} at Gibeon,
  • 40. To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and {cf15I to do} according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, 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 the LORD, because his mercy {cf15I endureth} for ever;
  • 42. And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun {cf15I were} porters.
  • 43. And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
