7 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to Yahweh, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

8 Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name;

Make known his doings among the peoples.

9 Sing to him, sing praises to him;

Talk you of all his marvelous works.

10 Glory you in his holy name;

Let the heart of them rejoice who seek Yahweh.

11 Seek you Yahweh and his strength;

Seek his face forever more.

12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done,

His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

13 You seed of Israel his servant,

You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

14 He is Yahweh our God;

His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Remember his covenant forever,

The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

16 The covenant which he made with Abraham,

His oath to Isaac,

17 Confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute,

To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan,

The lot of your inheritance;

19 When you were but a few men in number,

Yes, very few, and foreigners in it;

20 They went about from nation to nation,

From one kingdom to another people.

21 He allowed no man to do them wrong;

Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Don’t touch my anointed ones,

Do my prophets no harm.

23 Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

Show forth his salvation from day to day.

24 Declare his glory among the nations,

His marvelous works among all the peoples.

25 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised:

He also is to be feared above all gods.

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols:

But Yahweh made the heavens.

27 Honor and majesty are before him:

Strength and gladness are in his place.

28 Ascribe to Yahweh, you relatives of the peoples,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength;

29 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name:

Bring an offering, and come before him:

Worship Yahweh in holy array.

30 Tremble before him, all the earth:

The world also is established that it can’t be moved.

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

Let them say among the nations, Yahweh reigns.

32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness of it;

Let the field exult, and all that is therein;

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Yahweh;

For he comes to judge the earth.

34 Oh give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good;

For his loving kindness endures forever.

35 Say you, Save us, God of our salvation,

Gather us together and deliver us from the nations,

To give thanks to your holy name,

To triumph in your praise.

36 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

All the people said, Amen, and praised Yahweh.

37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required; 38 and Obed-edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers; 39 and Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, before the tent of Yahweh in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40 to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he commanded to Israel; 41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever; 42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. 43 All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
