1They brought the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent David had pitched for it. Then they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.1וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־ אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹת֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־ ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹל֥וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
2When David finished offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the LORD's name.2וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲל֥וֹת הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־ הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃
3He then handed out to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.3וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־ אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־ אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־ לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃
4He appointed some of the Levites to serve before the ark of the LORD, to offer prayers, songs of thanks, and hymns to the LORD God of Israel.4וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲר֧וֹן יְהוָ֛ה מִן־ הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהוֹד֣וֹת וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ
5Asaph was the leader and Zechariah second in command, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They were to play stringed instruments; Asaph was to sound 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 were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of God's covenant. 6וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְר֣וֹת תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲר֥וֹן בְּרִית־ הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
7That day David first gave to Asaph and his colleagues this song of thanks to the LORD: 7בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹד֖וֹת לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־ אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃ פ
8Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations! 8הוֹד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמ֔וֹ הוֹדִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃
9Sing to him! Make music to him! Tell about all his miraculous deeds! 9שִׁ֤ירוּ לוֹ֙ זַמְּרוּ־ ל֔וֹ שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־ נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃
10Boast about his holy name! Let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice! 10הִֽתְהַֽלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֔וֹ יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
11Seek the LORD and the strength he gives! Seek his presence continually! 11דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזּ֔וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃
12Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed, 12זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־ פִֽיהוּ׃
13O children of Israel, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones! 13זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדּ֔וֹ בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃
14He is the LORD our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth. 14ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־ הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃
15Remember continually his covenantal decree, the promise he made to a thousand generations--15זִכְר֤וּ לְעוֹלָם֙ בְּרִית֔וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃
16the promise he made to Abraham, the promise he made by oath to Isaac! 16אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־ אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָת֖וֹ לְיִצְחָֽק׃
17He gave it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as a lasting promise, 17וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם׃
18saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance." 18לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־ כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃
19When they were few in number, just a very few, and foreign residents within it, 19בִּֽהְיֽוֹתְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃
20they wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another. 20וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־ גּ֔וֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־ עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃
21He let no one oppress them, he disciplined kings for their sake, 21לֹא־ הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיּ֥וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃
22saying, "Don't touch my anointed ones! Don't harm my prophets!" 22אַֽל־ תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־ תָּרֵֽעוּ׃ פ
23Sing to the LORD, all the earth! Announce every day how he delivers! 23שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיּֽוֹם־ אֶל־ י֖וֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃
24Tell the nations about his splendor, tell all the nations about his miraculous deeds! 24סַפְּר֤וּ בַגּוֹיִם֙ אֶת־ כְּבוֹד֔וֹ בְּכָל־ הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃
25For the LORD is great and certainly worthy of praise, he is more awesome than all gods. 25כִּי֩ גָד֨וֹל יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנוֹרָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־ כָּל־ אֱלֹהִֽים׃
26For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the LORD made the heavens. 26כִּ֠י כָּל־ אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃
27Majestic splendor emanates from him, he is the source of strength and joy. 27ה֤וֹד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃
28Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD splendor and strength! 28הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּח֣וֹת עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּב֥וֹד וָעֹֽז׃
29Ascribe to the LORD the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his presence! Worship the LORD in holy attire! 29הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּב֣וֹד שְׁמ֑וֹ שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־ קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
30Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is established, it cannot be moved. 30חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־ הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־ תִּכּ֥וֹן תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־ תִּמּֽוֹט׃
31Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be happy! Let the nations say, 'The LORD reigns!' 31יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃
32Let the sea and everything in it shout! Let the fields and everything in them celebrate! 32יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלוֹא֔וֹ יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ בּֽוֹ׃
33Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth! 33אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־ בָ֖א לִשְׁפּ֥וֹט אֶת־ הָאָֽרֶץ׃
34Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good and his loyal love endures. 34הוֹד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
35Say this prayer: "Deliver us, O God who delivers us! Gather us! Rescue us from the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds." 35וְאִמְר֕וּ הוֹשִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־ הַגּוֹיִ֑ם לְהֹדוֹת֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃
36May the LORD God of Israel be praised, in the future and forevermore. Then all the people said, "We agree! Praise the LORD!" 36בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־ הָעוֹלָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־ הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃ פ
37David left Asaph and his colleagues there before the ark of the LORD's covenant to serve before the ark regularly and fulfill each day's requirements,37וַיַּֽעֲזָב־ שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־ יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָר֛וֹן תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־ י֥וֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃
38including Obed-Edom and sixty-eight colleagues. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were gatekeepers.38וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמוֹנָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־ יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃
39Zadok the priest and his fellow priests served before the LORD's tabernacle at the worship center in Gibeon,39וְאֵ֣ת ׀ צָד֣וֹק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃
40regularly offering burnt sacrifices to the LORD on the altar for burnt sacrifice, morning and evening, according to what is prescribed in the law of the LORD which he charged Israel to observe.40לְֽהַעֲלוֹת֩ עֹל֨וֹת לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־ מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־ הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתוֹרַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
41Joining them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD. (For his loyal love endures!)41וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמ֑וֹת לְהֹדוֹת֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
42Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of the music, including the trumpets, cymbals, and the other musical instruments used in praising God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the entrance. 42וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְר֤וֹת וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃
43Then all the people returned to their homes, and David went to pronounce a blessing on his family. 43וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־ הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵית֑וֹ וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־ בֵּיתֽוֹ׃ פ
