1 Chronicles 16 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And they brought the ark of Elohim, and set it in the midst of the Tent that Dawiḏ

² And when Dawiḏ

³ and gave a portion to everyone of Yisra’ĕ

⁴ And he appointed some of the Lĕ

⁵ Asaph the chief, and his second Zeḵ

⁶ and Benayahu and Yaḥ

⁷ And on that day Dawiḏ

⁸ Give thanks to יהוה, call upon His Name, Make known His deeds among the peoples!

⁹ Sing to Him, sing praise to Him, Speak of all His wonders!

¹⁰ Boast in His set-apart Name, Let the hearts of those seeking יהוה  rejoice!

¹¹ Seek יהוה  and His strength, Seek His face continually!

¹² Remember His wonders which He has done, His signs and the right-rulings of His mouth,

¹³ O seed of Yisra’ĕ

¹⁴ He is יהוה  our Elohim, His right-rulings are in all the earth.

¹⁵ Remember His covenant forever, The Word He commanded for a thousand generations,

¹⁶ Which He made with Aḇ

¹⁷ And He established it to Yaʽ

¹⁸ Saying, “To you I give the land of Kenaʽ

¹⁹ When you were but few in number, Few indeed, and sojourners in it.

²⁰ And they went up and down, From one nation to another, And from one reign to another people.

²¹ He allowed no one to oppress them, And He reproved sovereigns for their sakes, saying:

²² “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no evil.”

²³ Sing to יהוה, all the earth; Proclaim His deliverance from day to day.

²⁴ Declare His esteem among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

²⁵ For great is יהוה  and greatly to be praised; And He is to be feared above all mighty ones.

²⁶ For all the mighty ones of the peoples are matters of naught, But יהוה  made the heavens.

²⁷ Excellency and splendour are before Him, Strength and gladness are in His place.

²⁸ Ascribe to יהוה, O clans of the peoples, Ascribe to יהוה  esteem and strength.

²⁹ Ascribe to יהוה  the esteem of His Name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Bow yourself to יהוה  In the splendour of set-apartness!

³⁰ Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, immovable.

³¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, “יהוה  shall reign.”

³² Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.

³³ Let the trees of the forest then sing before יהוה, For He shall come to judge the earth.

³⁴ Give thanks to יהוה, for He is good, For His kindness is everlasting!

³⁵ And say, “Save us, O Elohim of our deliverance; And gather us together, And deliver us from the gentiles, To give thanks to Your set-apart Name, And boast in Your praise.”

³⁶ Blessed be יהוה  Elohim of Yisra’ĕ

³⁷ So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of יהוה  to perform regular service before the ark, as each day required;

³⁸ also, Oḇ

³⁹ and Tsaḏ

⁴⁰ to offer burnt offerings to יהוה  on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Torah of יהוה  which He commanded Yisra’ĕ

⁴¹ and with them Hĕ

⁴² and with them Hĕ

⁴³ And all the people went, each one to his house, and Dawiḏ
