1 A nd 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;

2 a nd David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,

3 a nd 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.

4 A nd 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,

5 A saph 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;

6 a nd Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 O n that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: --

8 G ive thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.

9 S ing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.

10 B oast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.

11 S eek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.

12 R emember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,

13 O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14 H e Jehovah our God, In all the earth His judgments.

15 R emember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded -- To a thousand generations,

16 W hich He hath made with Abraham, And His oath -- to Isaac,

17 A nd He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during.

18 S aying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,

19 W hen ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.

20 A nd they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.

21 H e hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:

22 C ome not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.

23 S ing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation.

24 R ehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders.

25 F or great Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He above all gods.

26 F or all gods of the peoples nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.

27 H onour and majesty before Him, Strength and joy in His place.

28 A scribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

29 A scribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.

30 B e pained before Him, all the earth:

31 A lso, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.

32 R oar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that in it,

33 T hen sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!

34 G ive thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, His kindness,

35 A nd say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.

36 B lessed Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, `Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah.

37 A nd he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,

38 b oth Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers,

39 a nd Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that in Gibeon,

40 t o cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.

41 A nd with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age His kindness,

42 a nd with them -- Heman and Jeduthun -- trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun at the gate.

43 A nd all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
