| 1 Llevaron el Arca de Dios y la colocaron en el centro de la tienda que David le había preparado. Ofrecieron holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión en presencia de Dios. | 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. |
| 2 Cuando David acabó de ofrecerlos, bendijo al pueblo en nombre del Señor. | 2 And when David had made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. |
| 3 Luego repartió a todos los israelitas, hombres y mujeres, una torta de pan, un trozo de carne y un pastel de pasas a cada uno. | 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. |
| 4 Puso a algunos levitas al servicio del Arca del Señor para celebrar, dar gracias y alabar al Señor, Dios de Israel: | 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. |
| 5 Asaf, el jefe; Zacarías, el segundo; luego Uziel, Semiramot, Yeiel, Matitías, Eliab, Benaías, Obededón y Yeiel, con arpas y cítaras. Asaf tocaba los platillos. | 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: |
| 6 Los sacerdotes Benaías y Yajaziel tocaban sin interrupción las trompetas ante el Arca de la alianza de Dios. | 6 But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. |
| 7 Aquel día, David dispuso por primera vez que Asaf y sus hermanos alabaran al Señor así: | 7 In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren. |
| 8 «Dad gracias al Señor, invocad su nombre, | dad a conocer sus hazañas a los pueblos. | 8 Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations. |
| 9 Cantadle al son de instrumentos, | hablad de sus maravillas, | 9 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works. |

| 15 Se acuerda de su alianza eternamente, | de la palabra dada, por mil generaciones, | 15 Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
| 16 de la alianza sellada con Abrahán, | del juramento hecho a Isaac, | 16 The covenant which he made with Abraham: and his oath to Isaac. |
| 17 confirmado como ley para Jacob, | como alianza eterna con Israel: | 17 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
| 18 “A ti te daré el país cananeo, | como lote de vuestra heredad”. | 18 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance. |
| 19 Cuando erais unos pocos mortales, | contados, y forasteros en el país, | 19 When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it. |
| 20 cuando erraban de pueblo en pueblo | y de un reino a otra nación, | 20 And they passed from nation to nation: and from a kingdom to another people. |
| 21 a nadie permitió que los molestase, | y por ellos castigó a reyes: | 21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake. |
| 22 “No toquéis a mis ungidos, | no hagáis mal a mis profetas”. | 22 Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. |
| 23 Cantad al Señor toda la tierra, | pregonad día tras día su victoria. | 23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation. |
| 24 Contad a los gentiles su gloria, | sus maravillas a todos los pueblos; | 24 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people. |
| 25 porque grande es el Señor | y muy digno de alabanza, | más temible que todos los dioses. | 25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all gods. |
| 26 Pues los dioses de los gentiles no son nada, | mientras que el Señor ha hecho el cielo; | 26 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. |
| 27 honor y majestad lo preceden, | la fuerza y el esplendor en su santuario. | 27 Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place. |
| 28 Familias de los pueblos, aclamad al Señor, | aclamad la gloria y el poder del Señor; | 28 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire. |
| 29 aclamad la gloria del nombre del Señor, | traed ofrendas y entrad ante él. | Postraos ante el Señor en el atrio sagrado. | 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. |
| 30 Tiemble en su presencia la tierra toda; | él afianzó el orbe, y no se moverá. | 30 Let all the earth be moved at his presence : for he hath founded the world immoveable. |
| 31 Alégrese el cielo, goce la tierra; | decid a los pueblos: “¡El Señor es rey!”. | 31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned. |
| 32 Retumbe el mar y cuanto lo llena, | exulte la campiña y cuanto hay en ella. | 32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them. |
| 33 Aclamen los árboles del bosque, | delante del Señor, que ya llega a regir la tierra. | 33 Then shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge the earth. |
| 34 Dad gracias al Señor porque es bueno, | porque es eterna su misericordia. | 34 Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
| 35 Decid: “Sálvanos, oh Dios nuestro salvador, | reúnenos y líbranos de entre los gentiles: | aremos gracias a tu santo nombre, | y nos gloriaremos cantando tu alabanza”. | 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. |
| 36 Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, | desde siempre y por siempre. | Y todo el pueblo diga: | “¡Amén! ¡Aleluya!”». | 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. |
| 37 David dejó allí, ante el Arca de la alianza del Señor, a Asaf y a sus hermanos al cuidado permanente del Arca, según el rito de cada día. | 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. |
| 38 Nombró porteros a Obededón, hijo de Yedutún, a sesenta y ocho de su familia y a Josá. | 38 And Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters. |
| 39 Así mismo, puso al sacerdote Sadoc y a sus hermanos, los sacerdotes, al frente de la Morada del Señor, en el alto de Gabaón, | 39 And Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon. |
| 40 para que ofrecieran constantemente holocaustos al Señor en el altar de los holocaustos, por la mañana y por la tarde, según está escrito en la ley que el Señor había prescrito a Israel. | 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. |
| 41 Con ellos estaban Hemán, Yedutún y los demás elegidos y nominalmente designados para dar gracias al Señor: «porque es eterno su amor». | 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. |
| 42 Entre ellos, Hemán y Yedutún tocaban trompetas, platillos y otros instrumentos para acompañar los cánticos de Dios. Los hijos de Yedutún eran porteros. | 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. |
| 43 Después se marcharon todos, cada cual a su casa. David regresó para bendecir su casa. | 43 And all the people returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house. |
