1 Chronicles - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 of wine.
- And he appointed 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:
- 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;
- Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
- Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
- Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
- Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
- Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
- Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.
- 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 the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
- Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
- Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
- And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and 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 few, even a few, and strangers in it.
- And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
