1 Chronicles 16:1-11

1 adtulerunt igitur arcam Dei et constituerunt eam in medio tabernaculi quod tetenderat ei David et obtulerunt holocausta et pacifica coram Deo

2 cumque conplesset David offerens holocausta et pacifica benedixit populo in nomine Domini

3 et divisit universis per singulos a viro usque ad mulierem tortam panis et partem assae carnis bubulae et frixam oleo similam

4 constituitque coram arca Domini de Levitis qui ministrarent et recordarentur operum eius et glorificarent atque laudarent Dominum Deum Israhel

5 Asaph principem et secundum eius Zacchariam porro Iahihel et Semiramoth et Ieihel et Matthathiam et Eliab et Banaiam et Obededom et Ieihel super organa psalterii et lyras Asaph autem ut cymbalis personaret

6 Banaiam vero et Azihel sacerdotes canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini

7 in illo die fecit David principem ad confitendum Domino Asaph et fratres eius

8 confitemini Domino invocate nomen eius notas facite in populis adinventiones illius

9 canite ei et psallite et narrate omnia mirabilia eius

10 laudate nomen sanctum eius laetetur cor quaerentium Dominum

11 quaerite Dominum et virtutem eius quaerite faciem eius semper
