engojps: 1 Chronicles 16

=> Chapters

 [1] And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.  [2] And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.  [3] And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.  [4] And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:  [5] Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;  [6] and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.  [7] Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.  [8] O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.  [9] Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.  [10] Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.  [11] Seek ye the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.  [12] Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;  [13] O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.  [14] He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.  [15] Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;  [16] The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;  [17] And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;  [18] Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'  [19] When ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,  [20] And when they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,  [21] He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:  [22] 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'  [23] Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.  [24] Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.  [25] For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.  [26] For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.  [27] Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.  [28] Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.  [29] Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.  [30] Tremble before Him, all the earth; the world also is established that it cannot be moved.  [31] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.'  [32] Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;  [33] Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth.  [34] O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.  [35] And say ye: 'Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.'  [36] Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised the LORD.  [37] 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 day's work required;  [38] and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;  [39] and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,  [40] to offer burnt-offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded unto Israel;  [41] and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endureth for ever;  [42] and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.  [43] And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
