1So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

1וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־ אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹת֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־ ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹל֥וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

2When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

2וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲל֥וֹת הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־ הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

3Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

3וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־ אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־ לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃

4David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

4וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲר֧וֹן יְהוָ֛ה מִן־ הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהוֹד֣וֹת וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ

5Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals

5אָסָ֥ף הָרֹ֖אשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵ֣הוּ זְכַרְיָ֑ה יְעִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמ֡וֹת וִֽיחִיאֵ֡ל וּמַתִּתְיָ֡ה וֶאֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָהוּ֩ וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֜ם וִֽיעִיאֵ֗ל בִּכְלֵ֤י נְבָלִים֙ וּבְכִנֹּר֔וֹת וְאָסָ֖ף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃

6and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

6וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְר֣וֹת תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲר֥וֹן בְּרִית־ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

7On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

7בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹד֖וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־ אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ פ

8“Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

8הוֹד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמ֔וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃

9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

9שִׁ֤ירוּ לוֹ֙ זַמְּרוּ־ ל֔וֹ שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־ נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

10Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

10הִֽתְהַֽלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֔וֹ יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

11Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

11דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזּ֔וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃

12Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

12זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־ פִֽיהוּ׃

13O offspring of His servant Israel, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

13זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדּ֔וֹ בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

14He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

14ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

15Remember His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

15זִכְר֤וּ לְעוֹלָם֙ בְּרִית֔וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃

16the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

16אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־ אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָת֖וֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃

17He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

17וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם׃

18‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’

18לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃

19When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

19בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

20they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

20וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־ גּ֔וֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־ עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃

21He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

21לֹא־ הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיּ֥וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃

22‘Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!’

22אַֽל־ תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־ תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ פ

23Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.

23שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיּֽוֹם־ אֶל־ י֖וֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃

24Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.

24סַפְּר֤וּ בַגּוֹיִם֙ אֶת־ כְּבוֹד֔וֹ בְּכָל־ הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

25For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

25כִּי֩ גָד֨וֹל יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנוֹרָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־ כָּל־ אֱלֹהִֽים׃

26For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

26כִּ֠י כָּל־ אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃

27Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.

27ה֤וֹד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃

28Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

28הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּח֣וֹת עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּב֥וֹד וָעֹֽז׃

29Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

29הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּב֣וֹד שְׁמ֑וֹ שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

30tremble before Him, all the earth. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

30חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־ תִּכּ֥וֹן תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־ תִּמּֽוֹט׃

31Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!’

31יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃

32Let the sea resound, and all that fills it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.

32יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלוֹא֔וֹ יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ בּֽוֹ׃

33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth.

33אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־ בָ֖א לִשְׁפּ֥וֹט אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃

34Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

34הוֹד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

35Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation; gather and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.’

35וְאִמְר֕וּ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם לְהֹדוֹת֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

36Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”

36בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־ הָעוֹלָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־ הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ

37So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements,

37וַיַּֽעֲזָב־ שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָר֛וֹן תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־ י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃

38along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.

38וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמוֹנָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־ יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃

39And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon

39וְאֵ֣ת ׀ צָד֣וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃

40to regularly present burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the Law of the LORD, which He had commanded Israel to keep.

40לְֽהַעֲלוֹת֩ עֹל֨וֹת לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־ מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־ הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתוֹרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

41With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “His loving devotion endures forever.”

41וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמ֑וֹת לְהֹדוֹת֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

42Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for the songs of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate.

42וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְר֤וֹת וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃

43Then all the people departed for their homes, and David returned home to bless his household.

43וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־ הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵית֑וֹ וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־ בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ פ
