大卫献祭为民祝福
16 众人将神的约柜请进去，安放在大卫所搭的帐幕里，就在神面前献燔祭和平安祭。 2 大卫献完了燔祭和平安祭，就奉耶和华的名给民祝福， 3 并且分给以色列人，无论男女，每人一个饼、一块肉、一个葡萄饼。
立利未人供役于约柜前
4 大卫派几个利未人在耶和华的约柜前侍奉，颂扬、称谢、赞美耶和华以色列的神。 5 为首的是亚萨；其次是撒迦利雅、雅薛、示米拉末、耶歇、玛他提雅、以利押、比拿雅、俄别以东、耶利，鼓瑟弹琴，唯有亚萨敲钹大发响声； 6 祭司比拿雅和雅哈悉常在神的约柜前吹号。
大卫歌颂耶和华
7 那日，大卫初次借亚萨和他的弟兄以诗歌称颂耶和华说： 8 “你们要称谢耶和华，求告他的名，在万民中传扬他的作为！ 9 要向他唱诗，歌颂，谈论他一切奇妙的作为！ 10 要以他的圣名夸耀，寻求耶和华的人心中应当欢喜！ 11 要寻求耶和华与他的能力，时常寻求他的面！ 13 他仆人以色列的后裔，他所拣选雅各的子孙哪，你们要记念他奇妙的作为和他的奇事并他口中的判语！ 14 他是耶和华我们的神，全地都有他的判断。 15 你们要记念他的约直到永远，他所吩咐的话直到千代， 16 就是与亚伯拉罕所立的约，向以撒所起的誓。 17 他又将这约向雅各定为律例，向以色列定为永远的约， 18 说：‘我必将迦南地赐给你，做你产业的份。’ 19 当时你们人丁有限，数目稀少，并且在那地为寄居的。 20 他们从这邦游到那邦，从这国行到那国。 21 耶和华不容什么人欺负他们，为他们的缘故责备君王， 22 说：‘不可难为我受膏的人，也不可恶待我的先知！’ 23 全地都要向耶和华歌唱，天天传扬他的救恩！ 24 在列邦中述说他的荣耀，在万民中述说他的奇事。 25 因耶和华为大，当受极大的赞美；他在万神之上，当受敬畏。 26 外邦的神都属虚无，唯独耶和华创造诸天。 27 有尊荣和威严在他面前，有能力和喜乐在他圣所。 28 民中的万族啊，你们要将荣耀、能力归给耶和华，都归给耶和华！ 29 要将耶和华的名所当得的荣耀归给他，拿供物来奉到他面前，当以圣洁的[a]装饰敬拜耶和华！ 30 全地要在他面前战抖，世界也坚定不得动摇。 31 愿天欢喜，愿地快乐，愿人在列邦中说：‘耶和华做王了！’ 32 愿海和其中所充满的澎湃，愿田和其中所有的都欢乐！ 33 那时林中的树木都要在耶和华面前欢呼，因为他来要审判全地。 34 应当称谢耶和华，因他本为善，他的慈爱永远长存！ 35 要说：‘拯救我们的神啊，求你救我们，聚集我们，使我们脱离外邦，我们好称赞你的圣名，以赞美你为夸胜。’ 36 耶和华以色列的神，从亘古直到永远是应当称颂的！”众民都说：“阿门！”并且赞美耶和华。
立亚萨及其弟兄恒供事于约柜前
37 大卫派亚萨和他的弟兄在约柜前常常侍奉耶和华，一日尽一日的职分。 38 又派俄别以东和他的弟兄六十八人，与耶杜顿的儿子俄别以东，并何萨做守门的。 40 且派祭司撒督和他弟兄众祭司在基遍的丘坛耶和华的帐幕前，燔祭坛上，每日早晚，照着耶和华律法书上所吩咐以色列人的，常给耶和华献燔祭。 41 与他们一同被派的有希幔、耶杜顿和其余被选名字录在册上的，称谢耶和华：“因他的慈爱永远长存！” 42 希幔、耶杜顿同着他们吹号、敲钹，大发响声，并用别的乐器随着歌颂神。耶杜顿的子孙做守门的。 43 于是众民各归各家，大卫也回去为家眷祝福。

1 Chronicles 16
Common English Bible
16 They brought in God’s chest and placed it inside the tent David had pitched for it. Then they brought entirely burned offerings and well-being sacrifices before God. 2 When David had finished offering the entirely burned offerings and the well-being sacrifices, he blessed the people in the Lord’s name 3 and distributed a loaf of bread, a piece of meat,[a] and a raisin cake to every Israelite man and woman.
David establishes worship
4 David appointed some of the Levites to serve before the Lord’s chest in order to remember, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, Israel’s God: 5 Asaph was the leader, and Zechariah his assistant; also Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel with harps and lyres; Asaph sounding the cymbals; 6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blowing trumpets regularly before the chest containing God’s covenant. 7 On the same day, for the first time, David ordered Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the Lord.
David’s song of praise
8 Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;
make his deeds known to all people!
9 Sing to God, sing praises to him;
dwell on all his wondrous works!
10 Give praise to God’s holy name!
Let the hearts of all those seeking the Lord rejoice!
11 Pursue the Lord and his strength;
seek his face always!
12 Remember the wondrous works he has done,
all his marvelous works,
and the justice he declared—
13 you who are the offspring of Israel, his servant,
and the children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 The Lord—he is our God.
His justice is everywhere throughout the whole world.
15 God remembers[b] his covenant forever,
the word he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 which he made with Abraham,
the solemn pledge he swore to Isaac.
17 God set it up as binding law for Jacob,
as an eternal covenant for Israel,
18 promising, “I hereby give you the land of Canaan
as your allotted inheritance.”
19 When they[c] were few in number—
insignificant, just immigrants—
20 wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to the next,
21 God didn’t let anyone oppress them.
God punished kings for their sake:
22 “Don’t touch my anointed ones;
don’t harm my prophets!”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Share the news of his saving work every single day!
24 Declare God’s glory among the nations;
declare his wondrous works among all people
25 because the Lord is great and so worthy of praise.
He is awesome beyond all other gods
26 because all the gods of the nations are just idols,
but it is the Lord who created heaven!
27 Greatness and grandeur are in front of him;
strength and joy are in his place.
28 Give to the Lord, all families of the nations—
give to the Lord glory and power!
29 Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
Bring gifts! Enter his presence!
Bow down to the Lord
in his holy splendor!
30 Tremble before him, all the earth!
Yes, he set the world firmly in place;[d]
it won’t be shaken.
31 Let heaven celebrate!
Let the earth rejoice!
Let the nations say, “The Lord rules!”
32 Let the sea and everything in it roar!
Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!
33 Then the trees of the forest will shout out joyfully
before the Lord, because he is coming
to establish justice on earth!
34 Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his faithful love endures forever.
35 Say: “Save us, God, our savior!
Gather us! Deliver us from among the nations
so we can give thanks to your holy name
and rejoice in your praise.”
36 Bless the Lord, Israel’s God,
from forever in the past to forever always.
And let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!
37 Then David placed Asaph and his relatives, together with Obed-edom and sixty-eight of his relatives, to minister there continually before the chest containing the Lord’s covenant, following the routines required on each day. 38 Obed-edom, Jeduthun’s son, and Hosah served as gatekeepers. 39 David also placed the priest Zadok and his other priestly relatives at the Lord’s dwelling at the shrine in Gibeon. 40 They were to offer continually, both morning and evening, entirely burned offerings to the Lord on the altar for entirely burned offerings, following the written requirements in the Lord’s Instruction, which he had given Israel. 41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen by name to give thanks to the Lord, because his faithful love lasts forever. 42 With them were also[e] the trumpets and the cymbals for the musicians and the instruments for God’s songs. Jeduthun’s family was at the gate. 43 Then all of the people left for their homes. And David returned to bless his household.

King James Version
16 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.
