1 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּצִּיגוּ אֹתֹו בְּתֹוךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָטָה־לֹו דָּוִיד וַיַּקְרִיבוּ עֹלֹות וּשְׁלָמִים לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים	1 And so they took the ark of God, and they set it in the midst of the tabernacle, which David had pitched for it. And they offered holocausts and peace offerings before God.
2 וַיְכַל דָּוִיד מֵהַעֲלֹות הָעֹלָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת־הָעָם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה	2 And when David had completed offering holocausts and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3 וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ כִּכַּר־לֶחֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּר וַאֲשִׁישָׁה	3 And he divided to every single one, from men even to women, a twist of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and fine wheat flour fried with oil.
4 וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון יְהוָה מִן־הַלְוִיִּם מְשָׁרְתִים וּלְהַזְכִּיר וּלְהֹודֹות וּלְהַלֵּל לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ פ	4 And he appointed some from the Levites who would minister before the ark of the Lord, and commemorate his works, and glorify and praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
5 אָסָף הָרֹאשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵהוּ זְכַרְיָה יְעִיאֵל וּשְׁמִירָמֹות וִיחִיאֵל וּמַתִּתְיָה וֶאֱלִיאָב וּבְנָיָהוּ וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וִיעִיאֵל בִּכְלֵי נְבָלִים וּבְכִנֹּרֹות וְאָסָף בַּמְצִלְתַּיִם מַשְׁמִיעַ	5 Asaph was the leader, and second to him was Zechariah. In addition, there were Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom. And Jeiel was over the instruments of the psaltery and the harps. But Asaph sounded out with the cymbals.
6 וּבְנָיָהוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵל הַכֹּהֲנִים בַּחֲצֹצְרֹות תָּמִיד לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִים	6 Truly, the priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
7 בַּיֹּום הַהוּא אָז נָתַן דָּוִיד בָּרֹאשׁ לְהֹדֹות לַיהוָה בְּיַד־אָסָף וְאֶחָיו׃ פ	7 In that day, David made Asaph the leader, in order to confess to the Lord with his brothers:
8 הֹודוּ לַיהוָה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמֹו הֹודִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָיו	8 “Confess to the Lord, and invoke his name. Make known his endeavors among the peoples.
9 שִׁירוּ לֹו זַמְּרוּ־לֹו שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָיו	9 Sing to him, and sing psalms to him, and describe all his miracles.
10 הִתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשֹׁו יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהוָה	10 Praise his holy name! Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
11 דִּרְשׁוּ יְהוָה וְעֻזֹּו בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד	11 Seek the Lord and his virtue. Seek his face always.
12 זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִיהוּ	12 Remember his miracles, which he has accomplished, his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
13 זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדֹּו בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָיו	13 O offspring of Israel, his servants! O sons of Jacob, his elect!
14 הוּא יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָיו	14 He is the Lord our God. His judgments are throughout all the earth.
15 זִכְרוּ לְעֹולָם בְּרִיתֹו דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דֹּור	15 Remember forever his covenant, the word that he instructed unto a thousand generations,
16 אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתֹו לְיִצְחָק	16 the covenant that he formed with Abraham, and his oath with Isaac.
17 וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עֹולָם	17 And he appointed the same to Jacob as a precept, and to Israel as an everlasting pact,
18 לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶם	18 saying: ‘To you, I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.’
19 בִּהְיֹותְכֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּהּ	19 At that time, they were small in number, they were few and were settlers there.
20 וַיִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגֹּוי אֶל־גֹּוי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵר	20 And they passed through, from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
21 לֹא־הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיֹּוכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִים	21 He did not permit anyone to falsely accuse them. Instead, he reproved kings on their behalf:
22 אַל־תִּגְּעוּ בִּמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵעוּ׃ פ	22 ‘Do not touch my Christ. And do not malign my prophets.’
23 שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיֹּום־אֶל־יֹום יְשׁוּעָתֹו	23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce his salvation, from day to day.
24 סַפְּרוּ בַגֹּויִם אֶת־כְּבֹודֹו בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָיו	24 Describe his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all the peoples.
25 כִּי גָדֹול יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנֹורָא הוּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים	25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And he is terrible, above all gods.
26 כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָׂה	26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But the Lord made the heavens.
27 הֹוד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמֹו	27 Confession and magnificence are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 הָבוּ לַיהוָה מִשְׁפְּחֹות עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהוָה כָּבֹוד וָעֹז	28 Bring to the Lord, O families of the peoples, bring to the Lord glory and dominion.
29 הָבוּ לַיהוָה כְּבֹוד שְׁמֹו שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְפָנָיו הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹדֶשׁ	29 Give glory to the Lord, to his name. Lift up sacrifice, and approach before his sight. And adore the Lord in holy attire.
30 חִילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אַף־תִּכֹּון תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמֹּוט	30 Let all the earth be moved before his face. For he founded the globe immoveable.
31 יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ בַגֹּויִם יְהוָה מָלָךְ	31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult. And let them say among the nations, ‘The Lord has reigned.’
32 יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹואֹו יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּו	32 Let the sea roar, with all its plenitude. Let the fields exult, with all that is in them.
33 אָז יְרַנְּנוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָה כִּי־בָא לִשְׁפֹּוט אֶת־הָאָרֶץ	33 Then the trees of the forest will give praise before the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth.
34 הֹודוּ לַיהוָה כִּי טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו	34 Confess to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy is eternal.
35 וְאִמְרוּ הֹושִׁיעֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ מִן־הַגֹּויִם לְהֹדֹות לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶךָ	35 And say: ‘Save us, O God our savior! And gather us together, and rescue us from the nations, so that we may confess to your holy name, and may exult in your songs.
36 בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעֹולָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל־הָעָם אָמֵן וְהַלֵּל לַיהוָה׃ פ	36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen,’ and let them sing a hymn to the Lord.”
37 וַיַּעֲזָב־שָׁם לִפְנֵי אֲרֹון בְּרִית־יְהוָה לְאָסָף וּלְאֶחָיו לְשָׁרֵת לִפְנֵי הָאָרֹון תָּמִיד לִדְבַר־יֹום בְּיֹומֹו	37 And so, there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, he left Asaph and his brothers, so that they might minister in the sight of the ark continually, throughout each day, and in their turns.
38 וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם וַאֲחֵיהֶם שִׁשִּׁים וּשְׁמֹונָה וְעֹבֵד אֱדֹם בֶּן־יְדִיתוּן וְחֹסָה לְשֹׁעֲרִים	38 Now Obededom and his brothers were sixty-eight. And he appointed Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters.
39 וְאֵת ׀ צָדֹוק הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶחָיו הַכֹּהֲנִים לִפְנֵי מִשְׁכַּן יְהוָה בַּבָּמָה אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֹון	39 But Zadok the priest, and his brothers the priests, were before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gibeon,
40 לְהַעֲלֹות עֹלֹות לַיהוָה עַל־מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה תָּמִיד לַבֹּקֶר וְלָעָרֶב וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב בְּתֹורַת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל	40 so that they could offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the law of the Lord, which he instructed to Israel.
41 וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִידוּתוּן וּשְׁאָר הַבְּרוּרִים אֲשֶׁר נִקְּבוּ בְּשֵׁמֹות לְהֹדֹות לַיהוָה כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו	41 And after him, Heman, and Jeduthun, and the remainder of the elect, each one by his name, were appointed to confess to the Lord: “For his mercy endures forever.”
42 וְעִמָּהֶם הֵימָן וִידוּתוּן חֲצֹצְרֹות וּמְצִלְתַּיִם לְמַשְׁמִיעִים וּכְלֵי שִׁיר הָאֱלֹהִים וּבְנֵי יְדוּתוּן לַשָּׁעַר	42 Also Heman and Jeduthun sounded the trumpet, and they played upon the cymbals, and upon every kind of musical instrument, in order to sing praises to God. But the sons of Jeduthun he made to be porters.
43 וַיֵּלְכוּ כָל־הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתֹו וַיִּסֹּב דָּוִיד לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֹו׃ פ	43 And all the people returned to their houses, and David also, so that he might bless his own house too.
