1 Chronicles 16

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it : and they offered holocausts, and peace offerings before God.	1 They brought in the ark of God and set it within the tent which David had pitched for it. Then they offered up holocausts and peace offerings to God.
2 And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.	2 When David had finished offering up the holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD,
3 And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.	3 and distributed to every Israelite, to every man and every woman, a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a raisin cake.
4 And he appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord God of Israel.	4 He now appointed certain Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, thank, and praise the LORD, the God of Israel.
5 Asaph the chief, and next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:	5 Asaph was their chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Uzziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. These were to play on harps and lyres, while Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
6 But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.	6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel were to be the regular trumpeters before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.	7 Then, on that same day, David appointed Asaph and his brethren to sing for the first time these praises of the LORD:
8 Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.	8 Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name; make known among the nations his deeds.
9 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.	9 Sing to him, sing his praise, proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
10 Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.	10 Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD!
11 Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.	11 Look to the LORD in his strength; seek to serve him constantly.
12 Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.	12 Recall the wondrous deeds that he has wrought, his portents, and the judgments he has uttered,
13 O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.	13 You descendants of Israel, his servants, sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
14 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.	14 He, the LORD, is our God; throughout the earth his judgments prevail.
15 Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.	15 He remembers forever his covenant which he made binding for a thousand generations--
16 The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac.	16 Which he entered into with Abraham and by his oath to Isaac;
17 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:	17 Which he established for Jacob by statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.	18 Saying, "To you will I give the land of Canaan as your allotted inheritance."
19 When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.	19 When they were few in number, a handful, and strangers there,
20 And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people.	20 Wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake.	21 He let no one oppress them, and for their sake he rebuked kings:
22 Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.	22 "Touch not my anointed, and to my prophets do no harm."
23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation.	23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth, announce his salvation, day after day
24 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.	24 Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.
25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods.	25 For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; and awesome is he, beyond all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.	26 For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place.	27 Splendor and majesty go before him; praise and joy are in his holy place.
28 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.	28 Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise;
29 Give to the Lord glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.	29 Give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his presence; worship the LORD in holy attire.
30 Let all the earth be moved at his presence : for he hath founded the world immoveable.	30 Tremble before him, all the earth; he has made the world firm, not to be moved.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.	31 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations: The LORD is king.
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them.	32 Let the sea and what fills it resound; let the plains rejoice and all that is in them!
33 Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth.	33 Then shall all the trees of the forest exult before the LORD, for he comes: he comes to rule the earth.
34 Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.	34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his kindness endures forever;
35 And say ye: Save us, O God our saviour: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.	35 And say, "Save us, O God, our savior, gather us and deliver us from the nations, That we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in praising you."
36 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.	36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, through all eternity! Let all the people say, Amen! Alleluia.
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses.	37 Then David left Asaph and his brethren there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly according to the daily ritual;
38 And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.	38 he also left there Obed-edom and sixty-eight of his brethren, including Obed-edom, son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers.
39 And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.	39 But the priest Zadok and his priestly brethren he left before the Dwelling of the LORD on the high place at Gibeon,
40 That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel.	40 to offer holocausts to the LORD on the altar of holocausts regularly, morning and evening, and to do all that is written in the law of the LORD which he has decreed for Israel.
41 And after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever.	41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the others who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, "because his kindness endures forever,"
42 And Heman and Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters.	42 with trumpets and cymbals for accompaniment, and instruments for the sacred chant. The sons of Jeduthun kept the gate.
43 And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house.	43 Then all the people departed, each to his own home, and David returned to bless his household.
