1 Chronicles 16 Interlinear

and when david had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings he blessed the people in the name of the lord

and he dealt to every one of israel both man and woman to every one a loaf of bread and a good piece of flesh and a flagon

and he appointed certain of the levites to minister before the ark of the lord and to record and to thank and praise the lord god of israel

asaph the chief and next to him zechariah jeiel and shemiramoth and jehiel and mattithiah and eliab and benaiah and obededom and jeiel with psalteries and with harps but asaph made a sound with cymbals

benaiah also 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 thank the lord into the hand of asaph and his brethren

give thanks unto the lord call upon his name make known his deeds among the people

sing unto him sing psalms unto him talk ye of all his wondrous

glory ye in his holy name let the heart of them rejoice that seek the lord

seek the lord and his strength seek his face continually

remember his marvellous works that he hath done his wonders and the judgments of his mouth

o ye seed of israel his servant ye children of jacob his chosen ones

he is the lord our god his judgments are in all the earth

be ye mindful always of his covenant the word which he commanded to a thousand generations

even of the covenant which he made with abraham and of his oath unto isaac

and hath confirmed the same to jacob for a law and to israel for an everlasting covenant

saying unto thee will i give the land of canaan the lot of your inheritance

when ye were but few even a few and strangers

and when they went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another people

he suffered no man to do them wrong yea he reproved kings

saying touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm

sing unto the lord all the earth shew forth from day to day his salvation

declare his glory among the heathen his marvellous works among all nations

for great is the lord and greatly to be praised he also is to be feared above all gods

for all the gods of the people are idols but the lord made the heavens

glory and honour are in his presence strength and gladness are in his place

give unto the lord ye kindreds of the people give unto the lord glory and strength

give unto the lord the glory due unto his name bring an offering and come before him worship the lord in the beauty of holiness

fear before him all the earth the world also shall be stable that it be not moved

let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice and let men say among the nations the lord reigneth

let the sea roar and the fulness thereof let the fields rejoice

then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the lord because he cometh to judge the earth

o give thanks unto the lord for he is good for his mercy endureth for ever

and say ye save us o god of our salvation and gather us together and deliver us from the heathen that we may give thanks to thy holy name and glory in thy praise

blessed be the lord god of israel for ever and ever and all the people said amen and praised the lord

so he left there before the ark of the covenant of the lord asaph and his brethren to minister before the ark continually as every days work required

and obededom with their brethren threescore and eight obededom also the son of jeduthun and hosah to be porters

and zadok the priest and his brethren the priests before the tabernacle of the lord in the high place that was at gibeon

to offer burnt offerings unto the lord upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening and to do according to all that is written in the law of the lord which he commanded israel

and with them heman and jeduthun and the rest that were chosen who were expressed by name to give thanks to the lord because his mercy endureth for ever

and with them heman and jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound and with musical instruments of god and the sons of jeduthun were porters

and all the people departed every man to his house and david returned to bless his house
