1 Chronicles 16:1-22

21st Century 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 call to remembrance 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 marvelous 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 do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes,

²² saying, “Touch not Mine anointed, and do My prophets no harm.”
