1 Chronicles 16

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 They brought the ark of God in and put it in the tent that David had set up for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

2 When David had finished offering the burnt offering and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of ADONAI.

3 Then he distributed to everyone in Isra'el, to everyone there, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a portion of meat and a raisin cake.

4 He appointed certain L'vi'im to serve in front of the ark of ADONAI, to celebrate, and to thank and praise ADONAI the God of Isra'el:

5 Asaf, the leader; assisting him, Z'kharyah; then Ye'i'el, Sh'miramot, Yechi'el, Mattityahu, Eli'av, B'nayahu, 'Oved-Edom and Ye'i'el playing lutes and lyres, while Asaf played cymbals.

6 B'nayah and Yachzi'el the cohanim blew the trumpets continually before the ark for the covenant of God.

7 It was on that same day that David first ordered that thanks be given to ADONAI through Asaf and his kinsmen:

8 Give thanks to ADONAI! Call on his name! Make his deeds known among the peoples.

9 Sing to him, sing praises to him! Talk about all his wonders.

10 Glory in his holy name; let those seeking ADONAI have joyful hearts.

11 Seek ADONAI and his strength; always seek his presence.

12 Remember the wonders he has done, his signs and his spoken judgments.

13 You descendants of Isra'el his servant, you offspring of Ya'akov, his chosen ones:

14 he is ADONAI our God, His judgments are everywhere on earth.

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

16 the covenant he made with Avraham; the oath he swore to Yitz'chak

17 and established as a law for Ya'akov, for Isra'el as an everlasting covenant:

18 "To you I will give the land of Kena'an as your allotted heritage."

19 When you were but few in number, and not only few, but aliens there too,

20 wandering from nation to nation, from this kingdom to that people,

21 he allowed no one to oppress them. Yes, for their sakes he rebuked even kings:

22 "Don't touch my anointed ones or do my prophets harm!"

23 Sing to ADONAI, all the earth! Proclaim his victory day after day!

24 Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples!

25 For ADONAI is great, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared more than all gods.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are nothing, but ADONAI made the heavens.

27 In his presence are honor and majesty; in his place, strength and joy.

28 Give ADONAI his due, you families from the peoples, give ADONAI his due of glory and strength;

29 give ADONAI the glory due to his name; bring an offering, and come into his presence. Worship ADONAI in splendid, holy attire.

30 Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established, immovable.

31 Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, "ADONAI is king!"

32 Let the sea roar, and everything in it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.

33 Then the trees in the forest will sing before ADONAI, because he has come to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to ADONAI; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.

35 Say: "Save us, God who can save us! Gather and rescue us from the nations; so that we can thank your holy name and glory in praising you.

36 Blessed be ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, from eternity past to eternity future!" All the people said, "Amen!" and praised ADONAI.

37 So, there before the ark for the covenant of ADONAI, David left Asaf and his kinsmen to perform the service regularly before the ark, as each day's work required;

38 also 'Oved-Edom with their kinsmen, sixty-eight of them -'Oved-Edom the son of Y'dutun and Hosah were gatekeepers.

39 He left Tzadok the cohen with his kinsmen before the tabernacle of ADONAI at the high place in Giv'on

40 to offer burnt offerings to ADONAI every morning and evening on the altar for burnt offerings, according to everything written in the Torah of ADONAI, which he gave to Isra'el.

41 With them were Heman and Y'dutun and the rest who were chosen and assigned by name to give thanks to ADONAI, because his grace continues forever.

42 With them were Heman and Y'dutun to play trumpets and cymbals, also instruments for the songs about God; while the sons of Y'dutun were assigned to the gate.

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

New Living Translation NLT

1 They brought the Ark of God and placed it inside the special tent David had prepared for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to God.

2 When he had finished his sacrifices, David blessed the people in the name of the LORD .

3 Then he gave to every man and woman in all Israel a loaf of bread, a cake of dates, and a cake of raisins.

4 David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the LORD —to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

5 Asaph, the leader of this group, sounded the cymbals. Second to him was Zechariah, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They played the harps and lyres.

6 The priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, played the trumpets regularly before the Ark of God’s Covenant.

7 On that day David gave to Asaph and his fellow Levites this song of thanksgiving to the LORD :

8 Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.

9 Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.

10 Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD .

11 Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.

12 Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given,

13 you children of his servant Israel, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is the LORD our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.

15 Remember his covenant forever— the commitment he made to a thousand generations.

16 This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.

17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:

18 “I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”

19 He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

20 They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

21 Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:

22 “Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”

23 Let the whole earth sing to the LORD ! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

24 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

25 Great is the LORD ! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.

26 The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the LORD made the heavens!

27 Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.

28 O nations of the world, recognize the LORD, recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong.

29 Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his presence. Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor.

30 Let all the earth tremble before him. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The LORD reigns!”

32 Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!

33 Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he is coming to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.

35 Cry out, “Save us, O God of our salvation! Gather and rescue us from among the nations, so we can thank your holy name and rejoice and praise you.”

36 Praise the LORD, the God of Israel, who lives from everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shouted “Amen!” and praised the LORD .

37 David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the LORD ’s Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.

38 This group included Obed-edom (son of Jeduthun), Hosah, and sixty-eight other Levites as gatekeepers.

39 Meanwhile, David stationed Zadok the priest and his fellow priests at the Tabernacle of the LORD at the place of worship in Gibeon, where they continued to minister before the LORD .

40 They sacrificed the regular burnt offerings to the LORD each morning and evening on the altar set aside for that purpose, obeying everything written in the Law of the LORD, as he had commanded Israel.

41 David also appointed Heman, Jeduthun, and the others chosen by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “his faithful love endures forever.”

42 They used their trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments to accompany their songs of praise to God. And the sons of Jeduthun were appointed as gatekeepers.

43 Then all the people returned to their homes, and David turned and went home to bless his own family.
