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 spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
- And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings 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 measure of wine and a raisin-cake.
- And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service 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 instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;
- and Benaiah 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 give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.
- Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.
- Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.
- Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
- Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;
- Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:
- Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
- He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
- Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --
- Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;
- And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,
- Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
- When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.
- And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
