1 Chronicles 16:1-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And they brought in the ark of God and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God

2. And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.

3. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread and a measure of wine and a raisin-cake.

4. And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel:

5. Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;

6. and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God

7. Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.

8. Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.

9. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.

10. Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

11. Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;
