== Divrei Hayamim I (Book of 1 Chronicles), Chapter 16 ==

<named id="1"/>1 And they brought in the ark of G-d, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before G-d.

<named id="2"/>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 HaShem.

<named id="3"/>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.

<named id="4"/>4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of HaShem, and to celebrate and to thank and praise HaShem, the G-d of Israel:

<named id="5"/>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;

<named id="6"/>6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of G-d.

<named id="7"/>7 Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto HaShem, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

<named id="8"/>8 O give thanks unto HaShem, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.

<named id="9"/>9 Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.

<named id="10"/>10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek HaShem.

<named id="11"/>11 Seek ye HaShem and His strength; seek His face continually.

<named id="12"/>12 Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;

<named id="13"/>13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

<named id="14"/>14 He is HaShem our G-d; His judgments are in all the earth.

<named id="15"/>15 Remember His covenant for ever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations;

<named id="16"/>16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac;

<named id="17"/>17 And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;

<named id="18"/>18 Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.'

<named id="19"/>19 When ye were but a few men in number, yea, very few, and sojourners in it,

<named id="20"/>20 And when they went about from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people,

<named id="21"/>21 He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:

<named id="22"/>22 'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'

<named id="23"/>23 Sing unto HaShem, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

<named id="24"/>24 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

<named id="25"/>25 For great is HaShem, and highly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

<named id="26"/>26 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but HaShem made the heavens.

<named id="27"/>27 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

<named id="28"/>28 Ascribe unto HaShem, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto HaShem glory and strength.

<named id="29"/>29 Ascribe unto HaShem the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come before Him; worship HaShem in the beauty of holiness.

<named id="30"/>30 Tremble before Him, all the earth; the world also is established that it cannot be moved.

<named id="31"/>31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations: 'The HaShem reigneth.'

<named id="32"/>32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein;

<named id="33"/>33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before HaShem, for He is come to judge the earth.

<named id="34"/>34 O give thanks unto HaShem; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

<named id="35"/>35 And say ye: 'Save us, O G-d 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.'

<named id="36"/>36 Blessed be HaShem, the G-d of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said: 'Amen,' and praised HaShem.

<named id="37"/>37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of HaShem, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

<named id="38"/>38 and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jedithun and Hosah to be door-keepers;

<named id="39"/>39 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of HaShem in the high place that was at Gibeon,

<named id="40"/>40 to offer burnt-offerings unto HaShem upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the Law of HaShem, which He commanded unto Israel;

<named id="41"/>41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to HaShem, because His mercy endureth for ever;

<named id="42"/>42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of G-d; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.

<named id="43"/>43 And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.
