Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- 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.
- And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
- And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion `of flesh', and a cake of raisins.
- And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:
- 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 psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
- and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
- Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
- O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his doings among the peoples.
- Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
- Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
- Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
- Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
- O ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
- He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
- Remember his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
- `The covenant' which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,
- And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
- Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
- When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
- And they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
