1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.

2 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.

3 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 of wine.

4 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:

5 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;

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

11 Seek 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 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and 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 few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

29 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.

30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh 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 heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. 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 Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:

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 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;

41 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;

42 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.

43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

1 So they brought the Arke of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that Dauid had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices, and peace offerings before God.

2 And when Dauid had made an end of offering the burnt offerings, and the peace offrings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 And hee dealt to euery one of Israel, both man and woman, to euery one a loafe of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

4 And he appointed certaine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and to record, and to thanke and praise the Lord God of Israel,

5 Asaph the chiefe, and next to him Zachariah, Ieiel, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed Edom: and Ieiel with Psalteries and with harpes: but Asaph made a sound with cymbals.

6 Benaiah also and Iahaziel the Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the Couenant of God.

7 Then on that day, Dauid deliuered first this Psalme to thanke the Lord, into the hand of Asaph and his brethren:

8 Giue thankes vnto the Lord, call vpon his name, make knowen his deeds among the people.

9 Sing vnto him, sing psalmes vnto him, talke you of all his wonderous workes.

10 Glory yee in his holy Name, let the heart of them reioyce that seeke the Lord.

11 Seeke the Lord, and his strength, seeke his face continually.

12 Remember his marueilous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,

13 O ye seed of Israel his seruant, ye children of Iacob his chosen ones.

14 He is the Lord our God, his iudgements are in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindfull alwayes of his Couenant: the worde which hee commanded to a thousand generations:

16 Euen of the Couenant which hee made with Abraham, and of his othe vnto Isaac:

17 And hath confirmed the same to Iacob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting Couenant,

18 Saying, vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.

19 When ye were but few, euen a few, and strangers in it:

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people:

21 Hee suffered no man to doe them wrong: yea, hee reprooued kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.

23 Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: shew foorth from day to day his saluation.

24 Declare his glory among the heathen: his marueilous workes among all nations.

25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared aboue all gods.

26 For all the gods of the people are idoles: but the Lord made the heauens.

27 Glory and honour are in his presence: strength and gladnesse are in his place.

28 Giue vnto the Lord, yee kinreds of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and strength.

29 Giue vnto the Lord the glory due vnto his Name: bring an offering, and come before him, worship the Lord in the beautie of holinesse.

30 Feare before him all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not mooued.

31 Let the heauens be glad, and let the earth reioyce: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

32 Let the sea roare, and the fulnesse thereof: let the fieldes reioyce, and all that is therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because hee commeth to iudge the earth.

34 O giue thanks vnto the Lord, for hee is good: for his mercy endureth for euer.

35 And say yee, Saue vs, O God of our saluation, and gather vs together, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may giue thanks to thy holy Name, and glory in thy praise.

36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and all the people saide, Amen, and praised the Lord.

37 So hee left there before the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the Arke continually, as euery dayes worke required:

38 And Obed Edom with their brethren, threescore and eight: Obed Edom also the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah to be porters:

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 vnto the Lord, vpon the Altar of the burnt offering continually morning and euening, and to doe according to all that is written in the Lawe of the Lord, which hee commanded Israel:

41 And with them Heman and Ieduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to giue thankes to the Lord, because his mercy endureth for euer.

42 And with them Heman and Ieduthun with trumpets and cymbales, for those that should make a sound, and with musicall instruments of God: and the sonnes of Ieduthun were Porters.

43 And all the people departed euery man to his house, and Dauid returned to blesse his house.

1 They brought in the ark of God and set it within the tent which David had pitched for it. Then they offered up holocausts and peace offerings to God.

2 When David had finished offering up the holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD,

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

4 He now appointed certain Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, thank, and praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

5 Asaph was their chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Uzziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. These were to play on harps and lyres, while Asaph was to sound the cymbals,

6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel were to be the regular trumpeters before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then, on that same day, David appointed Asaph and his brethren to sing for the first time these praises of the LORD:

8 Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name; make known among the nations his deeds.

9 Sing to him, sing his praise, proclaim all his wondrous deeds.

10 Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD!

11 Look to the LORD in his strength; seek to serve him constantly.

12 Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought, his portents, and the judgments he has uttered,

13 You descendants of Israel, his servants, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!

14 He, the LORD, is our God; throughout the earth his judgments prevail.

15 He remembers forever his covenant which he made binding for a thousand generations - 

16 Which he entered into with Abraham and by his oath to Isaac;

17 Which he established for Jacob by statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, "To you will I give the land of Canaan as your allotted inheritance."

19 When they were few in number, a handful, and strangers there,

20 Wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

21 He let no one oppress them, and for their sake he rebuked kings:

22 "Touch not my anointed, and to my prophets do no harm."

23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth, announce his salvation, day after day

24 Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.

25 For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; and awesome is he, beyond all gods.

26 For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens.

27 Splendor and majesty go before him; praise and joy are in his holy place.

28 Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise;

29 Give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his presence; worship the LORD in holy attire.

30 Tremble before him, all the earth; he has made the world firm, not to be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations: The LORD is king.

32 Let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains rejoice and all that is in them!

33 Then shall all the trees of the forest exult before the LORD, for he comes: he comes to rule the earth.

34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his kindness endures forever;

35 And say, "Save us, O God, our savior, gather us and deliver us from the nations, That we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in praising you."

36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, through all eternity! Let all the people say, Amen! Alleluia.

37 Then David left Asaph and his brethren there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly according to the daily ritual;

38 he also left there Obed-edom and sixty-eight of his brethren, including Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers.

39 But the priest Zadok and his priestly brethren he left before the Dwelling of the LORD on the high place at Gibeon,

40 to offer holocausts to the LORD on the altar of holocausts regularly, morning and evening, and to do all that is written in the law of the LORD which he has decreed for Israel.

41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the others who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, "because his kindness endures forever,"

42 with trumpets and cymbals for accompaniment, and instruments for the sacred chant. The sons of Jeduthun kept the gate. .

43 Then all the people departed, each to his own home, and David returned to bless his household.

v 1-3. See 2 Sam. 6:17-19. v 4-6. See 1 Chr. 15:22-24 and 16:37,38

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 7 This Psalm of Thanksgiving by David was a compilation of some of his previous Psalms:

v 8-22 compare Psalm 105:1-15

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 23-33 compare Psalm 96:1b-13a v 34-36 compare Psalm 106:1b,c, 47,48. v 38. These are the two Obed-edom men mentioned in my comments on 2 Sam. 6:22.  Obed-edom the porter, here, was a son of Jeduthan, not Jeduthan the musician.v 39-43. The curtains of the old Tabernacle were probably so worn David did not want to move it to Jerusalem, so he left Zadok to perform the sacrifices at Gibeon and also appointed singers and musicians to be there. Abiathar had the breast plate of judgment, so he remained with the ark at Jerusalem, so there were two high priests. All the people were happy as they went to their homes, and David went home full of joy, only to meet the criticism of Michal, 2 Sam. 6:20-23.
