Verse
1 Chronicles - ch 16 v 1 - 20
- And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;
- and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,
- and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
- And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,
- Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;
- and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests `are' with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
- On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: --
- Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.
- Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
- Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.
- Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.
- Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
- O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
- He `is' Jehovah our God, In all the earth `are' His judgments.
- Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded -- To a thousand generations,
- Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath -- to Isaac,
- And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during.
- Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
- When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
- And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.
