1 Chronicles 16

Common English Bible CEB

1 They brought in God's chest and placed it inside the tent David had pitched for it. Then they brought entirely burned offerings and well-being sacrifices before God.

2 When David had finished offering the entirely burned offerings and the well-being sacrifices, he blessed the people in the LORD's name

3 and distributed a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a raisin cake to every Israelite man and woman.

4 David appointed some of the Levites to serve before the LORD's chest in order to remember, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, Israel's God:

5 Asaph was the leader, and Zechariah his assistant; also Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel with harps and lyres; Asaph sounding the cymbals;

6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blowing trumpets regularly before the chest containing God's covenant.

7 On the same day, for the first time, David ordered Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD.

8 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make his deeds known to all people!

9 Sing to God, sing praises to him; dwell on all his wondrous works!

10 Give praise to God's holy name! Let the hearts rejoice of all those seeking the LORD!

11 Pursue the LORD and his strength; seek his face always!

12 Remember the wondrous works he has done, all his marvelous works, and the justice he declared—

13 you who are the offspring of Israel, his servant, and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 The LORD—he is our God. His justice is everywhere throughout the whole world.

15 God remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 which he made with Abraham, the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.

17 God set it up as binding law for Jacob, as an eternal covenant for Israel,

18 promising, "I hereby give you the land of Canaan as your allotted inheritance."

19 When they were few in number— insignificant, just immigrants—

20 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to the next,

21 God didn't let anyone oppress them. God punished kings for their sake:

22 "Don't touch my anointed ones; don't harm my prophets!"

23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Share the news of his saving work every single day!

24 Declare God's glory among the nations; declare his wondrous works among all people

25 because the LORD is great and so worthy of praise. He is awesome beyond all other gods

26 because all the gods of the nations are just idols, but it is the LORD who created heaven!

27 Greatness and grandeur are in front of him; strength and joy are in his place.

28 Give to the LORD, all families of the nations— give to the LORD glory and power!

29 Give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts! Enter his presence! Bow down to the LORD in his holy splendor!

30 Tremble before him, all the earth! Yes, he set the world firmly in place; it won't be shaken.

31 Let heaven celebrate! Let the earth rejoice! Let the nations say, "The LORD rules!"

32 Let the sea and everything in it roar! Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!

33 Then the trees of the forest will shout out joyfully before the LORD, because he is coming to establish justice on earth!

34 Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his faithful love endures forever.

35 Say: "Save us, God, our savior! Gather us! Deliver us from among the nations so we can give thanks to your holy name and rejoice in your praise."

36 Bless the LORD, Israel's God, from forever in the past to forever always. And let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD!

37 Then David placed Asaph and his relatives, together with Obed-edom and sixty-eight of his relatives, to minister there continually before the chest containing the LORD's covenant, following the routines required on each day.

38 Obed-edom, Jeduthun's son, and Hosah served as gatekeepers.

39 David also placed the priest Zadok and his other priestly relatives at the LORD's dwelling at the shrine in Gibeon.

40 They were to offer continually, both morning and evening, entirely burned offerings to the LORD on the altar for entirely burned offerings, following the written requirements in the LORD's Instruction, which he had given Israel.

41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen by name to give thanks to the LORD, because his faithful love lasts forever.

42 With them were also the trumpets and the cymbals for the musicians and the instruments for God's songs. Jeduthun's family was at the gate.

43 Then all of the people left for their homes. And David returned to bless his household.

New King James Version NKJV

1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

4 And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel:

5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;

6 Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord:

8 Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!

9 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!

10 Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!

11 Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!

12 Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

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

14 He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

17 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,"

19 When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

20 When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,

21 He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."

23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

24 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

25 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.

27 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.

28 Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength.

29 Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!

30 Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.

31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, "The Lord reigns."

32 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.

33 Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth.

34 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

35 And say, "Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise."

36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said, "Amen!" and praised the Lord.

37 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;

38 and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;

39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel;

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endures forever;

42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.

43 Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
