Chapter 16
I Ch YLT 16:1  And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;
I Ch YLT 16:2  and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,
I Ch YLT 16:3  and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
I Ch YLT 16:4  And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,
I Ch YLT 16:5  Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;
I Ch YLT 16:6  and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests are with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
I Ch YLT 16:7  On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: --
I Ch YLT 16:8  Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.
I Ch YLT 16:9  Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
I Ch YLT 16:10  Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.
I Ch YLT 16:11  Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.
I Ch YLT 16:12  Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
I Ch YLT 16:13  O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
I Ch YLT 16:14  He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.
I Ch YLT 16:15  Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded--To a thousand generations,
I Ch YLT 16:16  Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath--to Isaac,
I Ch YLT 16:17  And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel--a covenant age-during.
I Ch YLT 16:18  Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
I Ch YLT 16:19  When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
I Ch YLT 16:20  And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.
I Ch YLT 16:21  He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:
I Ch YLT 16:22  Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.
I Ch YLT 16:23  Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation.
I Ch YLT 16:24  Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders.
I Ch YLT 16:25  For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He is above all gods.
I Ch YLT 16:26  For all gods of the peoples are nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.
I Ch YLT 16:27  Honour and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.
I Ch YLT 16:28  Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
I Ch YLT 16:29  Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.
I Ch YLT 16:31  Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.
I Ch YLT 16:32  Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that is in it,
I Ch YLT 16:33  Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!
I Ch YLT 16:34  Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, is His kindness,
I Ch YLT 16:35  And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.
I Ch YLT 16:36  Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;' And all the people say, `Amen,' and have given praise to Jehovah.
I Ch YLT 16:37  And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,
I Ch YLT 16:38  both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers,
I Ch YLT 16:39  and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that is in Gibeon,
I Ch YLT 16:40  to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.
I Ch YLT 16:41  And with them are Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age is His kindness,
I Ch YLT 16:42  and with them--Heman and Jeduthun-- are trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun are at the gate.
I Ch YLT 16:43  And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
