1 Chronicles - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- Then they took in the ark of God and put it inside the tent which David had put up for it; and they made offerings, burned offerings and peace-offerings before God.
- And when David had come to an end of making the burned offerings and peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord.
- And he gave to everyone, every man and woman of Israel, a cake of bread, some meat, and a cake of dry grapes.
- And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:
- Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;
- And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests, blowing horns all the time before the ark of the agreement of God.
- Then on that day David first made the giving of praise to the Lord the work of Asaph and his brothers.
- O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
- Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
- Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
- Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
- Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
- O you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
- He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
- He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
- The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
- And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
- Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
- When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;
- When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people;
