Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it : and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.
- And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
- And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
- And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel.
- Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:
- But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
- In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.
- Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.
- Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.
- Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.
- Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
- Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
- O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
- He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
- Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.
- The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.
- And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
- Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.
- When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
- And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people.
