2 “How I long for the months gone by,(A)
for the days when God watched over me,(B)
3 when his lamp shone on my head
and by his light I walked through darkness!(C)
4 Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship(D) blessed my house,(E)
5 when the Almighty was still with me
and my children(F) were around me,(G)
6 when my path was drenched with cream(H)
and the rock(I) poured out for me streams of olive oil.(J)
7 “When I went to the gate(K) of the city
and took my seat in the public square,
8 the young men saw me and stepped aside(L)
and the old men rose to their feet;(M)
9 the chief men refrained from speaking(N)
and covered their mouths with their hands;(O)
10 the voices of the nobles were hushed,(P)
and their tongues stuck to the roof of their mouths.(Q)
11 Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,(R)
12 because I rescued the poor(S) who cried for help,
and the fatherless(T) who had none to assist them.(U)
13 The one who was dying blessed me;(V)
I made the widow’s(W) heart sing.
14 I put on righteousness(X) as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.(Y)
15 I was eyes(Z) to the blind
and feet to the lame.(AA)
16 I was a father to the needy;(AB)
I took up the case(AC) of the stranger.(AD)
17 I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims(AE) from their teeth.(AF)
18 “I thought, ‘I will die in my own house,
my days as numerous as the grains of sand.(AG)
19 My roots will reach to the water,(AH)
and the dew will lie all night on my branches.(AI)
20 My glory will not fade;(AJ)
the bow(AK) will be ever new in my hand.’(AL)
21 “People listened to me expectantly,
waiting in silence for my counsel.(AM)
22 After I had spoken, they spoke no more;(AN)
my words fell gently on their ears.(AO)
23 They waited for me as for showers
and drank in my words as the spring rain.(AP)
24 When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face(AQ) was precious to them.[a](AR)
25 I chose the way for them and sat as their chief;(AS)
I dwelt as a king(AT) among his troops;
I was like one who comforts mourners.(AU)
30 “But now they mock me,(AV)
men younger than I,
whose fathers I would have disdained
to put with my sheep dogs.(AW)
2 Of what use was the strength of their hands to me,
since their vigor had gone from them?
3 Haggard from want and hunger,
they roamed[b] the parched land(AX)
in desolate wastelands(AY) at night.(AZ)
4 In the brush they gathered salt herbs,(BA)
and their food[c] was the root of the broom bush.(BB)
5 They were banished from human society,
shouted at as if they were thieves.
6 They were forced to live in the dry stream beds,
among the rocks and in holes in the ground.(BC)
7 They brayed(BD) among the bushes(BE)
and huddled in the undergrowth.
8 A base and nameless brood,(BF)
they were driven out of the land.(BG)
9 “And now those young men mock me(BH) in song;(BI)
I have become a byword(BJ) among them.
10 They detest me(BK) and keep their distance;
they do not hesitate to spit in my face.(BL)
11 Now that God has unstrung my bow(BM) and afflicted me,(BN)
they throw off restraint(BO) in my presence.
12 On my right(BP) the tribe[d] attacks;
they lay snares(BQ) for my feet,(BR)
they build their siege ramps against me.(BS)
13 They break up my road;(BT)
they succeed in destroying me.(BU)
‘No one can help him,’ they say.
14 They advance as through a gaping breach;(BV)
amid the ruins they come rolling in.
15 Terrors(BW) overwhelm me;(BX)
my dignity is driven away as by the wind,
my safety vanishes like a cloud.(BY)
16 “And now my life ebbs away;(BZ)
days of suffering grip me.(CA)
17 Night pierces my bones;
my gnawing pains never rest.(CB)
18 In his great power(CC) God becomes like clothing to me[e];
he binds me like the neck of my garment.
19 He throws me into the mud,(CD)
and I am reduced to dust and ashes.(CE)
20 “I cry out to you,(CF) God, but you do not answer;(CG)
I stand up, but you merely look at me.
21 You turn on me ruthlessly;(CH)
with the might of your hand(CI) you attack me.(CJ)
22 You snatch me up and drive me before the wind;(CK)
you toss me about in the storm.(CL)
23 I know you will bring me down to death,(CM)
to the place appointed for all the living.(CN)
24 “Surely no one lays a hand on a broken man(CO)
when he cries for help in his distress.(CP)
25 Have I not wept for those in trouble?(CQ)
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?(CR)
26 Yet when I hoped for good, evil came;
when I looked for light, then came darkness.(CS)
27 The churning inside me never stops;(CT)
days of suffering confront me.(CU)
28 I go about blackened,(CV) but not by the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.(CW)
29 I have become a brother of jackals,(CX)
a companion of owls.(CY)
30 My skin grows black(CZ) and peels;(DA)
my body burns with fever.(DB)
31 My lyre is tuned to mourning,(DC)
and my pipe(DD) to the sound of wailing.

23 The whole assembly then agreed to celebrate(A) the festival seven more days; so for another seven days they celebrated joyfully. 24 Hezekiah king of Judah provided(B) a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats for the assembly, and the officials provided them with a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A great number of priests consecrated themselves. 25 The entire assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites and all who had assembled from Israel(C), including the foreigners who had come from Israel and also those who resided in Judah. 26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon(D) son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

Ministering Before the Ark(A)(B)(C)
16 They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched(D) for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God. 2 After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed(E) the people in the name of the Lord. 3 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins(F) to each Israelite man and woman.
4 He appointed some of the Levites to minister(G) before the ark of the Lord, to extol,[a] thank, and praise the Lord, the God of Israel: 5 Asaph was the chief, and next to him in rank were Zechariah, then Jaaziel,[b] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel. They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise(H) to the Lord in this manner:
8 Give praise(I) to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations(J) what he has done.
9 Sing to him, sing praise(K) to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
10 Glory in his holy name;(L)
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11 Look to the Lord and his strength;
seek(M) his face always.
12 Remember(N) the wonders(O) he has done,
his miracles,(P) and the judgments he pronounced,
13 you his servants, the descendants of Israel,
his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
14 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments(Q) are in all the earth.
15 He remembers[c](R) his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
16 the covenant(S) he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac.
17 He confirmed it to Jacob(T) as a decree,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 “To you I will give the land of Canaan(U)
as the portion you will inherit.”
19 When they were but few in number,(V)
few indeed, and strangers in it,
20 they[d] wandered(W) from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
21 He allowed no one to oppress them;
for their sake he rebuked kings:(X)
22 “Do not touch my anointed ones;
do my prophets(Y) no harm.”
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory(Z) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(AA)
he is to be feared(AB) above all gods.(AC)
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.(AD)
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place.
28 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(AE)
29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;(AF)
bring an offering and come before him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his[e] holiness.(AG)
30 Tremble(AH) before him, all the earth!
The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.(AI)
31 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;(AJ)
let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!(AK)”
32 Let the sea resound, and all that is in it;(AL)
let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them!
33 Let the trees(AM) of the forest sing,
let them sing for joy before the Lord,
for he comes to judge(AN) the earth.
34 Give thanks(AO) to the Lord, for he is good;(AP)
his love endures forever.(AQ)
35 Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior;(AR)
gather us and deliver us from the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name,
and glory in your praise.”
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,(AS)
from everlasting to everlasting.
Then all the people said “Amen” and “Praise the Lord.”
37 David left Asaph and his associates before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister there regularly, according to each day’s requirements.(AT) 38 He also left Obed-Edom(AU) and his sixty-eight associates to minister with them. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah,(AV) were gatekeepers.
39 David left Zadok(AW) the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon(AX) 40 to present burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly, morning and evening, in accordance with everything written in the Law(AY) of the Lord, which he had given Israel. 41 With them were Heman(AZ) and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord, “for his love endures forever.” 42 Heman and Jeduthun were responsible for the sounding of the trumpets and cymbals and for the playing of the other instruments for sacred song.(BA) The sons of Jeduthun(BB) were stationed at the gate.
43 Then all the people left, each for their own home, and David returned home to bless his family.

15 And the Levites carried the ark of God with the poles on their shoulders, as Moses had commanded(A) in accordance with the word of the Lord.(B)
16 David(C) told the leaders of the Levites(D) to appoint their fellow Levites as musicians(E) to make a joyful sound with musical instruments: lyres, harps and cymbals.(F)
17 So the Levites appointed Heman(G) son of Joel; from his relatives, Asaph(H) son of Berekiah; and from their relatives the Merarites,(I) Ethan son of Kushaiah; 18 and with them their relatives next in rank: Zechariah,[a] Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom(J) and Jeiel,[b] the gatekeepers.
19 The musicians Heman,(K) Asaph and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals; 20 Zechariah, Jaaziel,[c] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah and Benaiah were to play the lyres according to alamoth,[d] 21 and Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel and Azaziah were to play the harps, directing according to sheminith.[e] 22 Kenaniah the head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skillful at it.
23 Berekiah and Elkanah were to be doorkeepers for the ark. 24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah and Eliezer the priests were to blow trumpets(L) before the ark of God. Obed-Edom and Jehiah were also to be doorkeepers for the ark.
25 So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of units of a thousand went to bring up the ark(M) of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom, with rejoicing. 26 Because God had helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, seven bulls and seven rams(N) were sacrificed. 27 Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and as were the musicians, and Kenaniah, who was in charge of the singing of the choirs. David also wore a linen ephod.(O) 28 So all Israel(P) brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouts,(Q) with the sounding of rams’ horns(R) and trumpets, and of cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.
