1Therefore they brought the ark of God, and setted [or set] it in the midst of the tabernacle, that David had arrayed thereto; and they offered burnt sacrifices and peaceable sacrifices before the Lord.

2And when David offering burnt sacrifices and peaceable sacrifices had fulfilled, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord;

3and he parted to all, to each by himself, from man to woman, one cake or a cake of bread, and a part of roasted flesh of a bugle, and flour fried in oil.

4And he ordained before the ark of the Lord, of the Levites, that is, deacons, that should minister, that is, serve, and have mind of the works of the Lord, and glorify and praise the Lord God of Israel;

5Asaph the prince, and Zechariah his second; forsooth Jeiel, and Shemi-ramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, on the organs of the psaltery, and on the harps; but he ordained Asaph to sound with cymbals;

6and he ordained Benaiah and Jahaziel, priests, before the ark of the bond of peace of the Lord, for to trump continually.

7In that day, David made Asaph prince, and his brethren, for to acknowledge to the Lord.

8Acknowledge ye to the Lord, and inwardly call ye his name; make ye his findings known among peoples.

9Sing ye to him, and say ye psalm to him, and tell ye all his marvels.

10Praise ye his holy name; the heart of men seeking the Lord be glad.

11Seek ye the Lord and his strength; seek ye ever[more] his face.

12Have ye mind of his marvels that he hath done; of his signs, and of the dooms of his mouth.

13The seed of Israel, his servant, praise thou God; the sons of Jacob, his chosen, praise ye God.

14He is the Lord our God; his dooms be in each land.

15Have ye mind without end of his covenant; of the word which he covenanted into a thousand gener-ations.

16Which word he covenanted with Abraham; and of his oath to Isaac.

17And he ordained that word to Jacob into a commandment; and to Israel into everlasting covenant.

18And he said, To thee I shall give the land of Canaan; the part of your heritage.

19When they were few in number; little, and pilgrims thereof.

20And they passed from folk into folk; and from a realm to another people.

21He suffered not any man to falsely challenge them; but he blamed kings for them.

22And he said, Do not ye touch my christs, that is, patriarchs anointed with the anointing of grace; and do not ye do wickedly against my prophets.

23All [the] earth, sing ye to the Lord; tell ye from day into day his health.

24Tell ye among heathen men his glory; his marvels among all peoples.

25For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; and he is horrible, that is, fearful, over all gods.

26For all the gods of peoples be idols; but the Lord made heavens.

27Acknowledging and great doing be before him; strength and joy be in the place of him.

28Ye meines of peoples, bring ye to the Lord; bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.

29Give ye the glory to his name, raise ye up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight; and worship ye the Lord in holy fairness.

30All earth be moved from his face; for he hath founded the world unmoveable.

31Heavens be glad, and the earth make full out joy; and say they among nations, The Lord reign.

32The sea thunder, and his fullness; the fields fully joy they, and all things that be in those [or them].

33Then the trees of the forest shall praise before the Lord; for he cometh to deem the earth.

34Acknowledge to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.

35And say ye, Thou God, our saviour, save us, and gather us together, and deliver us from heathen men; that we acknowledge to thine holy name, and be fully glad in thy songs.

36Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from without beginning and into with-out end; and all the people say, Amen, and say praising to God.

37Therefore David left there, before the ark of [the] bond of peace of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren, for to minister in the sight of or before the ark, continually, by all days and their whiles.

38And David ordained as porters, Obededom and his brethren, eight and sixty; and Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah.

39And he ordained Zadok priest, and his brethren, priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord, in the high place that was in Gibeon,

40for to offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord upon the altar of burnt sacrifice continually, in the morrowtide and eventide, by all things that be written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded to Israel.

41And after him David ordained Heman and Jeduthun, and [the] other chosen men, each man by his name, for to acknowledge to the Lord; for his mercy is without end.

42And he ordained Heman and Jeduthun, with trumping, and shaking cymbals, and all organs of musics, for to sing to God; forsooth he made the sons of Jeduthun to be porters.

43And all the people turned again into their house, and David turned again, to bless also his house.
