1 Chronicles 16:23-40 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Announce his salvation, from day to day.

24. Describe his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all the peoples.

25. For the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy. And he is terrible, above all gods.

26. For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But the Lord made the heavens.

27. Confession and magnificence are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.

28. Bring to the Lord, O families of the peoples, bring to the Lord glory and dominion.

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. Let all the earth be moved before his face. For he founded the globe immoveable.

31. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult. And let them say among the nations, 'The Lord has reigned.'

32. Let the sea roar, with all its plenitude. Let the fields exult, with all that is in them.

33. Then the trees of the forest will give praise before the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth.

34. Confess to the Lord, for he is good. For his mercy is eternal.

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. 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. 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. Now Obededom and his brothers were sixty-eight. And he appointed Obededom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters.

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. 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.
