1 The|strong="H0853" Levites brought|strong="H0935" God’s|strong="H0430" Holy Box and|strong="H0935" put|strong="H0935" it|strong="H7126" inside|strong="H8432" the|strong="H0853" tent|strong="H0168" David|strong="H1732" had|strong="H0834" set|strong="H0935" up|strong="H0935" for|strong="H0430" it|strong="H7126". Then|strong="H0853" they|strong="H0834" offered|strong="H7126" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H8002" and|strong="H0935" fellowship offerings|strong="H8002" to|strong="H0935" God|strong="H0430".
2 After|strong="H8034" David|strong="H1732" had|strong="H3068" finished|strong="H3615" giving the|strong="H0853" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H8002" and|strong="H3068" fellowship offerings|strong="H8002", he|strong="H3068" used|strong="H3615" the|strong="H0853" LORD’S|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034" to|strong="H3068" bless|strong="H1288" the|strong="H0853" people|strong="H5971".

4 Then|strong="H5414" David chose some|strong="H4480" of|strong="H0430" the|strong="H6440" Levites|strong="H3881" to|strong="H3068" serve|strong="H8334" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" LORD’S|strong="H3068" Holy Box.

5 Asaph|strong="H0623" was|strong="H7218" the|strong="H8085" leader|strong="H7218" of|strong="H7218" the|strong="H8085" first|strong="H7218" group. His|strong="H8085" group played the|strong="H8085" cymbals|strong="H4700". Zechariah|strong="H2148" was|strong="H7218" the|strong="H8085" leader|strong="H7218" of|strong="H7218" the|strong="H8085" second|strong="H4932" group.

6 Benaiah|strong="H1141" and|strong="H0430" Jahaziel|strong="H3166" were|strong="H0727" the|strong="H6440" priests|strong="H3548" who|strong="H3548" always|strong="H8548" blew the|strong="H6440" trumpets|strong="H2689" before|strong="H6440" the|strong="H6440" Box of|strong="H0430" God’s|strong="H0430" Agreement|strong="H1285".
7 This|strong="H1931" was|strong="H3068" when|strong="H3117" David|strong="H1732" first|strong="H7218" gave|strong="H5414" Asaph|strong="H0623" and|strong="H3068" his|strong="H5414" brothers|strong="H0251" the|strong="H5414" job of|strong="H3068" singing praises|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" LORD|strong="H3068".
8 Give|strong="H3034" thanks|strong="H3034" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" and|strong="H3068" call|strong="H7121" out|strong="H3045" to|strong="H3068" him|strong="H7121"!

11 Depend on|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" LORD|strong="H3068" for|strong="H3068" strength|strong="H5797".
12 Remember|strong="H2142" the|strong="H0834" amazing|strong="H6381" things|strong="H6381" he|strong="H0834" has|strong="H0834" done|strong="H6213".
13 The|strong="H5650" people|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Israel|strong="H3478" are|strong="H3478" his|strong="H3478" servants|strong="H5650".
14 The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3068" God|strong="H0430".
15 Remember|strong="H2142" his|strong="H6680" agreement|strong="H1285" forever|strong="H5769",
16 Remember the|strong="H0834" agreement he|strong="H0834" made|strong="H3772" with|strong="H0854" Abraham|strong="H0085"
17 He|strong="H3290" gave it|strong="H5975" as|strong="H5975" a|strong="H5975" law for|strong="H3290" Jacob|strong="H3290",
18 He|strong="H5414" said|strong="H0559", “I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H0776" give|strong="H5414" you|strong="H5414" the|strong="H0559" land|strong="H0776" of|strong="H0776" Canaan|strong="H3667".
19 At|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1961" time|strong="H1961" God said this, there|strong="H1961" were|strong="H1961" only a|strong="H1961" few|strong="H4592" of|strong="H4557" his|strong="H1961" people,
20 They|strong="H5971" traveled|strong="H1980" around|strong="H1980" from|strong="H1980" nation|strong="H1471" to|strong="H0413" nation|strong="H1471",
21 But|strong="H3808" the|strong="H5921" Lord did|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" let|strong="H3808" anyone|strong="H0376" mistreat them|strong="H5921".
22 He said, “Don’t|strong="H0408" hurt|strong="H5060" my|strong="H5060" chosen|strong="H4899" people|strong="H0408".
23 Let the|strong="H3605" whole|strong="H3605" world|strong="H0776" sing|strong="H7891" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068"!
24 Tell|strong="H5608" all|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" nations|strong="H1471" how|strong="H5608" wonderful|strong="H6381" he|strong="H0853" is|strong="H3605"!
25 The|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" is|strong="H3068" great|strong="H1419" and|strong="H3068" worthy of|strong="H0430" praise|strong="H1984".
26 All|strong="H3605" the|strong="H3605" “gods|strong="H0430"” in|strong="H0430" other|strong="H3605" nations|strong="H5971" are|strong="H8064" nothing|strong="H3605" but|strong="H3588" statues,
27 He|strong="H6440" lives in|strong="H4725" the|strong="H6440" presence|strong="H6440" of|strong="H6440" glory|strong="H1935" and|strong="H6440" honor|strong="H1935".
28 Praise the|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068", all people|strong="H5971" of|strong="H3068" every|strong="H4940" nation|strong="H5971";

30 Everyone|strong="H3605" on|strong="H0776" earth|strong="H0776" should|strong="H0776" tremble|strong="H2342" before|strong="H6440" him|strong="H6440"!
31 Let|strong="H1523" the|strong="H0559" heavens|strong="H8064" rejoice|strong="H1523" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0559" earth|strong="H0776" be|strong="H3068" happy|strong="H8056"!
32 Let|strong="H7481" the|strong="H3605" sea|strong="H3220" and|strong="H7704" everything|strong="H3605" in|strong="H3220" it|strong="H4393" shout for|strong="H3605" joy!
33 The|strong="H0853" trees|strong="H6086" of|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" forest|strong="H3293" will|strong="H3068" sing|strong="H7442" for|strong="H3588" joy|strong="H7442" when|strong="H3588" they|strong="H3588" see|strong="H0935" the|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068",
34 Give|strong="H3034" thanks|strong="H3034" to|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3588" LORD|strong="H3068" because|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3068" good|strong="H2896".

37 Then|strong="H3068" David|strong="H3117" left|strong="H5800" Asaph|strong="H0623" and|strong="H3068" his|strong="H3068" brothers|strong="H0251" there|strong="H8033" in|strong="H3068" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" Box of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H6440" LORD’S|strong="H3068" Agreement|strong="H1285". David|strong="H3117" left|strong="H5800" them|strong="H6440" there|strong="H8033" to|strong="H3068" serve|strong="H8334" in|strong="H3068" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H3068" it|strong="H8033" every|strong="H3117" day|strong="H3117".

Obed Edom and|strong="H1121" Hosah|strong="H2621" were|strong="H1121" guards|strong="H7778". Obed Edom was|strong="H1121" Jeduthun’s son|strong="H1121".
39 David left Zadok|strong="H6659" the|strong="H0853" priest|strong="H3548" and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" other|strong="H0251" priests|strong="H3548" who|strong="H0834" served|strong="H6440" with|strong="H3068" him|strong="H0853" in|strong="H3068" front|strong="H6440" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" LORD’S|strong="H3068" Tent at|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" high|strong="H1116" place|strong="H1116" in|strong="H3068" Gibeon|strong="H1391".
40 Every|strong="H3605" morning|strong="H1242" and|strong="H3068" evening|strong="H6153" Zadok and|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" other|strong="H3605" priests offered|strong="H5927" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H3068" to|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" altar|strong="H4196" of|strong="H3068" burnt|strong="H5930" offerings|strong="H3068". They|strong="H0834" did|strong="H0834" this|strong="H0834" to|strong="H5921" follow|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" rules written|strong="H3789" in|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" law|strong="H8451" of|strong="H3068" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068", which|strong="H0834" he|strong="H0834" had|strong="H3068" given|strong="H6680" Israel|strong="H3478".
41 Heman|strong="H1968", Jeduthun|strong="H3038", and|strong="H3068" all|strong="H5769" the|strong="H0834" other Levites were|strong="H0834" chosen|strong="H1305" by|strong="H3068" name|strong="H8034" to|strong="H3068" praise|strong="H3034" the|strong="H0834" LORD|strong="H3068", singing, “His|strong="H3068" faithful|strong="H2617" love|strong="H2617" will|strong="H3068" last|strong="H5769" forever|strong="H5769".”
