Dedication of the Wall

²⁷ And at ^(A)the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, with thanksgivings and with singing, ^(B)with cymbals, harps, and lyres.

¹⁶ David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on ^(A)musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

³⁰ And Hezekiah the king and the officials commanded the Levites to sing praises to the Lord with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed down and worshiped.

¹³ and it was the duty of the trumpeters and singers to make themselves heard in unison in praise and thanksgiving to the Lord), and when the song was raised, ^(A)with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise to the Lord,

the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,

²⁸ So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting, to the sound of the horn, ^(A)trumpets, and cymbals, and made loud music on ^(B)harps and lyres.

⁵ Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying, ‘Is there any man who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go back to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.

¹² and said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites. ^(A)Consecrate yourselves, you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel, ^(B)to the place that I have prepared for it.

⁴ And David gathered together the sons of Aaron and ^(A)the Levites:

⁸ And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders ^(A)fell down before the Lamb, ^(B)each holding a harp, and ^(C)golden bowls full of incense, ^(D)which are the prayers of the saints.

^4 (A)Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.
