16:1 So they brought 935 8686 the ark 727 of God 430, and set 3322 8686 it in the midst 8432 of the tent 168 that David 1732 had pitched 5186 8804 for it: and they offered 7126 8686 burnt sacrifices 5930 and peace offerings 8002 before 6440 God 430.

16:2 And when David 1732 had made an end 3615 8762 of offering 5927 8687 the burnt offerings 5930 and the peace offerings 8002, he blessed 1288 8762 the people 5971 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068.

16:3 And he dealt 2505 8762 to every one 376 of Israel 3478, both man 376 and woman 802, to every one 376 a loaf 3603 of bread 3899, and a good piece of flesh 829, and a flagon 809 [of wine].

16:4 And he appointed 5414 8799 [certain] of the Levites 3881 to minister 8334 8764 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, and to record 2142 8687, and to thank 3034 8687 and praise 1984 8763 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478:

16:5 Asaph 623 the chief 7218, and next 4932 to him Zechariah 2148, Jeiel 3273, and Shemiramoth 8070, and Jehiel 3171, and Mattithiah 4993, and Eliab 446, and Benaiah 1141, and Obededom 5654: and Jeiel 3273 with psalteries 5035 3627 and with harps 3658; but Asaph 623 made a sound 8085 8688 with cymbals 4700;(with psalteries…: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps)

16:6 Benaiah 1141 also and Jahaziel 3166 the priests 3548 with trumpets 2689 continually 8548 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of God 430.

16:7 Then on that day 3117 David 1732 delivered 5414 8804 first 7218 [this psalm] to thank 3034 8687 the LORD 3068 into the hand 3027 of Asaph 623 and his brethren 251.

16:8 Give thanks 3034 8685 unto the LORD 3068, call 7121 8798 upon his name 8034, make known 3045 8685 his deeds 5949 among the people 5971.

16:9 Sing 7891 8798 unto him, sing psalms 2167 8761 unto him, talk 7878 8798 ye of all his wondrous 6381 8737 works.

16:10 Glory 1984 8690 ye in his holy 6944 name 8034: let the heart 3820 of them rejoice 8055 8799 that seek 1245 8764 the LORD 3068.

16:11 Seek 1875 8798 the LORD 3068 and his strength 5797, seek 1245 8761 his face 6440 continually 8548.

16:12 Remember 2142 8798 his marvellous 6381 8737 works that he hath done 6213 8804, his wonders 4159, and the judgments 4941 of his mouth 6310;

16:13 O ye seed 2233 of Israel 3478 his servant 5650, ye children 1121 of Jacob 3290, his chosen ones 972.

16:14 He [is] the LORD 3068 our God 430; his judgments 4941 [are] in all the earth 776.

16:15 Be ye mindful 2142 8798 always 5769 of his covenant 1285; the word 1697 [which] he commanded 6680 8765 to a thousand 505 generations 1755;

16:16 [Even of the covenant] which he made 3772 8804 with Abraham 85, and of his oath 7621 unto Isaac 3327;

16:17 And hath confirmed 5975 8686 the same to Jacob 3290 for a law 2706, [and] to Israel 3478 [for] an everlasting 5769 covenant 1285,

16:18 Saying 559 8800, Unto thee will I give 5414 8799 the land 776 of Canaan 3667, the lot 2256 of your inheritance 5159;(the lot: Heb. the cord)

16:19 When ye were but few 4557 4962, even a few 4592, and strangers 1481 8802 in it.(few, even: Heb. men of number, etc)

16:20 And [when] they went 1980 8691 from nation 1471 to nation 1471, and from [one] kingdom 4467 to another 312 people 5971;

16:21 He suffered 3240 8689 no man 376 to do them wrong 6231 8800: yea, he reproved 3198 8686 kings 4428 for their sakes,

16:22 [Saying], Touch 5060 8799 not mine anointed 4899, and do my prophets 5030 no harm 7489 8686.

16:23 Sing 7891 8798 unto the LORD 3068, all the earth 776; shew forth 1319 8761 from day 3117 to day 3117 his salvation 3444.

16:24 Declare 5608 8761 his glory 3519 among the heathen 1471; his marvellous works 6381 8737 among all nations 5971.

16:25 For great 1419 [is] the LORD 3068, and greatly 3966 to be praised 1984 8794: he also [is] to be feared 3372 8737 above all gods 430.

16:26 For all the gods 430 of the people 5971 [are] idols 457: but the LORD 3068 made 6213 8804 the heavens 8064.

16:27 Glory 1935 and honour 1926 [are] in his presence 6440; strength 5797 and gladness 2304 [are] in his place 4725.

16:28 Give 3051 8798 unto the LORD 3068, ye kindreds 4940 of the people 5971, give 3051 8798 unto the LORD 3068 glory 3519 and strength 5797.

16:29 Give 3051 8798 unto the LORD 3068 the glory 3519 [due] unto his name 8034: bring 5375 8798 an offering 4503, and come 935 8798 before 6440 him: worship 7812 8690 the LORD 3068 in the beauty 1927 of holiness 6944.

16:30 Fear 2342 8798 before 6440 him, all the earth 776: the world 8398 also shall be stable 3559 8735, that it be not moved 4131 8735.

16:31 Let the heavens 8064 be glad 8055 8799, and let the earth 776 rejoice 1523 8799: and let [men] say 559 8799 among the nations 1471, The LORD 3068 reigneth 4427 8804.

16:32 Let the sea 3220 roar 7481 8799, and the fulness 4393 thereof: let the fields 7704 rejoice 5970 8799, and all that [is] therein.

16:33 Then shall the trees 6086 of the wood 3293 sing out 7442 8762 at the presence 6440 of the LORD 3068, because he cometh 935 8804 to judge 8199 8800 the earth 776.

16:34 O give thanks 3034 8685 unto the LORD 3068; for [he is] good 2896; for his mercy 2617 [endureth] for ever 5769.

16:35 And say 559 8798 ye, Save 3467 8685 us, O God 430 of our salvation 3468, and gather us together 6908 8761, and deliver 5337 8685 us from the heathen 1471, that we may give thanks 3034 8687 to thy holy 6944 name 8034, [and] glory 7623 8692 in thy praise 8416.

16:36 Blessed 1288 8803 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 for ever 5769 and ever 5769. And all the people 5971 said 559 8799, Amen 543, and praised 1984 8763 the LORD 3068.

16:37 So he left 5800 8799 there before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 Asaph 623 and his brethren 251, to minister 8334 8763 before 6440 the ark 727 continually 8548, as every day's 3117 work 1697 required 3117:

16:38 And Obededom 5654 with their brethren 251, threescore 8346 and eight 8083; Obededom 5654 also the son 1121 of Jeduthun 3038 and Hosah 2621 [to be] porters 7778:

16:39 And Zadok 6659 the priest 3548, and his brethren 251 the priests 3548, before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068 in the high place 1116 that [was] at Gibeon 1391,

16:40 To offer 5927 8687 burnt offerings 5930 unto the LORD 3068 upon the altar 4196 of the burnt offering 5930 continually 8548 morning 1242 and evening 6153, and [to do] according to all that is written 3789 8803 in the law 8451 of the LORD 3068, which he commanded 6680 8765 Israel 3478;(morning…: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening)

16:41 And with them Heman 1968 and Jeduthun 3038, and the rest 7605 that were chosen 1305 8803, who were expressed 5344 8738 by name 8034, to give thanks 3034 8687 to the LORD 3068, because his mercy 2617 [endureth] for ever 5769;

16:42 And with them Heman 1968 and Jeduthun 3038 with trumpets 2689 and cymbals 4700 for those that should make a sound 8085 8688, and with musical 7892 instruments 3627 of God 430. And the sons 1121 of Jeduthun 3038 [were] porters 8179.(porters: Heb. for the gate)

16:43 And all the people 5971 departed 3212 8799 every man 376 to his house 1004: and David 1732 returned 5437 8735 to bless 1288 8763 his house 1004.
