 16:1 ¶ So they brought 935 z8686 x853 the ark 727 of God, 430 and set 3322 z8686 it in the midst 8432 of the tent 168 that x834 David 1732 had pitched 5186 z8804 for it: and they offered 7126 z8686 burnt sacrifices 5930 and peace offerings 8002 before 6440 God. 430

 16:2 And when David 1732 had made an end 3615 z8762 of offering 5927 z8687 x4480 the burnt offerings 5930 and the peace offerings, 8002 he blessed 1288 z8762 x853 the people 5971 in the name 8034 of the LORD. 3068

 16:3 And he dealt 2505 z8762 to every one 376 x3605 of Israel, 3478 both man 376 x4480 and woman, 802 to every one 376 a loaf 3603 of bread, 3899 and a good piece of flesh, 829 and a flagon 809 [of wine].

 16:4 ¶ And he appointed 5414 z8799 [certain] of x4480 the Levites 3881 to minister 8334 z8764 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD, 3068 and to record, 2142 z8687 and to thank 3034 z8687 and praise 1984 z8763 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel: 3478

 16:5 Asaph 623 the chief, 7218 and next 4932 to him Zechariah, 2148 Jeiel, 3273 and Shemiramoth, 8070 and Jehiel, 3171 and Mattithiah, 4993 and Eliab, 446 and Benaiah, 1141 and Obededom: 5654 and Jeiel 3273 with psalteries 5035 3627 and with harps; 3658 but Asaph 623 made a sound 8085 z8688 with cymbals; 4700

 16:6 Benaiah 1141 also and Jahaziel 3166 the priests 3548 with trumpets 2689 continually 8548 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of God. 430

 16:7 ¶ Then x227 on that x1931 day 3117 David 1732 delivered 5414 z8804 first 7218 [this psalm] to thank 3034 z8687 the LORD 3068 into the hand 3027 of Asaph 623 and his brethren. 251

 16:8 Give thanks 3034 z8685 unto the LORD, 3068 call 7121 z8798 upon his name, 8034 make known 3045 z8685 his deeds 5949 among the people. 5971

 16:9 Sing 7891 z8798 unto him, sing psalms 2167 z8761 unto him, talk 7878 z8798 ye of all x3605 his wondrous y6381 z8737 works. x6381

 16:10 Glory 1984 z8690 ye in his holy 6944 name: 8034 let the heart 3820 of them rejoice 8055 z8799 that seek 1245 z8764 the LORD. 3068

 16:11 Seek 1875 z8798 the LORD 3068 and his strength, 5797 seek 1245 z8761 his face 6440 continually. 8548

 16:12 Remember 2142 z8798 his marvellous y6381 z8737 works x6381 that x834 he hath done, 6213 z8804 his wonders, 4159 and the judgments 4941 of his mouth; 6310

 16:13 O ye seed 2233 of Israel 3478 his servant, 5650 ye children 1121 of Jacob, 3290 his chosen ones. 972

 16:14 He x1931 [is] the LORD 3068 our God; 430 his judgments 4941 [are] in all x3605 the earth. 776

 16:15 Be ye mindful 2142 z8798 always 5769 of his covenant; 1285 the word 1697 [which] he commanded 6680 z8765 to a thousand 505 generations; 1755

 16:16 [Even of the covenant] which x834 he made 3772 z8804 with x854 Abraham, 85 and of his oath 7621 unto Isaac; 3327

 16:17 And hath confirmed 5975 z8686 the same to Jacob 3290 for a law, 2706 [and] to Israel 3478 [for] an everlasting 5769 covenant, 1285

 16:18 Saying, 559 z8800 Unto thee will I give 5414 z8799 the land 776 of Canaan, 3667 the lot 2256 of your inheritance; 5159

 16:19 When ye were x1961 but few, 4962 y4557 even a few, 4592 and strangers 1481 z8802 in it.

 16:20 And [when] they went 1980 z8691 from nation 1471 x4480 to x413 nation, 1471 and from [one] kingdom 4467 x4480 to x413 another 312 people; 5971

 16:21 He suffered y3240 z8689 x5117 no x3808 man 376 to do them wrong: 6231 z8800 yea, he reproved 3198 z8686 kings 4428 for their sakes, x5921

 16:22 [Saying], Touch 5060 z8799 not x408 mine anointed, 4899 and do x7489 my prophets 5030 no x408 harm. y7489 z8686

 16:23 Sing 7891 z8798 unto the LORD, 3068 all x3605 the earth; 776 shew forth 1319 z8761 from day 3117 x4480 to x413 day 3117 his salvation. 3444

 16:24 Declare 5608 z8761 x853 his glory 3519 among the heathen; 1471 his marvellous works 6381 z8737 among all x3605 nations. 5971

 16:25 For x3588 great 1419 [is] the LORD, 3068 and greatly 3966 to be praised: 1984 z8794 he x1931 also [is] to be feared 3372 z8737 above x5921 all x3605 gods. 430

 16:26 For x3588 all x3605 the gods 430 of the people 5971 [are] idols: 457 but the LORD 3068 made 6213 z8804 the heavens. 8064

 16:27 Glory 1935 and honour 1926 [are] in his presence; 6440 strength 5797 and gladness 2304 [are] in his place. 4725

 16:28 Give 3051 z8798 unto the LORD, 3068 ye kindreds 4940 of the people, 5971 give 3051 z8798 unto the LORD 3068 glory 3519 and strength. 5797

 16:29 Give 3051 z8798 unto the LORD 3068 the glory 3519 [due] unto his name: 8034 bring 5375 z8798 an offering, 4503 and come 935 z8798 before 6440 him: worship 7812 z8690 the LORD 3068 in the beauty 1927 of holiness. 6944

 16:30 Fear 2342 z8798 before 6440 x4480 him, all x3605 the earth: 776 the world 8398 also x637 shall be stable, 3559 z8735 that it be not x1077 moved. 4131 z8735

 16:31 Let the heavens 8064 be glad, 8055 z8799 and let the earth 776 rejoice: 1523 z8799 and let [men] say 559 z8799 among the nations, 1471 The LORD 3068 reigneth. 4427 z8804

 16:32 Let the sea 3220 roar, 7481 z8799 and the fulness 4393 thereof: let the fields 7704 rejoice, 5970 z8799 and all x3605 that x834 [is] therein.

 16:33 Then x227 shall the trees 6086 of the wood 3293 sing out 7442 z8762 at the presence 6440 x4480 of the LORD, 3068 because x3588 he cometh 935 z8804 to judge 8199 z8800 x853 the earth. 776

 16:34 O give thanks 3034 z8685 unto the LORD; 3068 for x3588 [he is] good; 2896 for x3588 his mercy 2617 [endureth] for ever. 5769

 16:35 And say 559 z8798 ye, Save 3467 z8685 us, O God 430 of our salvation, 3468 and gather us together, 6908 z8761 and deliver 5337 z8685 us from x4480 the heathen, 1471 that we may give thanks 3034 z8687 to thy holy 6944 name, 8034 [and] glory 7623 z8692 in thy praise. 8416

 16:36 Blessed 1288 z8803 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 for ever 5769 x4480 and ever. 5769 x5704 And all x3605 the people 5971 said, 559 z8799 Amen, 543 and praised 1984 z8763 the LORD. 3068

 16:37 ¶ So he left 5800 z8799 there x8033 before 6440 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 Asaph 623 and his brethren, 251 to minister 8334 z8763 before 6440 the ark 727 continually, 8548 as every day's y3117 work y1697 required: 3117 x1697

 16:38 And Obededom 5654 with their brethren, 251 threescore 8346 and eight; 8083 Obededom 5654 also the son 1121 of Jeduthun 3038 and Hosah 2621 [to be] porters: 7778

 16:39 And Zadok 6659 the priest, 3548 and his brethren 251 the priests, 3548 before 6440 the tabernacle 4908 of the LORD 3068 in the high place 1116 that x834 [was] at Gibeon, 1391

 16:40 To offer 5927 z8687 burnt offerings 5930 unto the LORD 3068 upon x5921 the altar 4196 of the burnt offering 5930 continually 8548 morning 1242 and evening, 6153 and [to do] according to all x3605 that is written 3789 z8803 in the law 8451 of the LORD, 3068 which x834 he commanded 6680 z8765 Israel; 3478

 16:41 And with x5973 them Heman 1968 and Jeduthun, 3038 and the rest 7605 that were chosen, 1305 z8803 who x834 were expressed 5344 z8738 by name, 8034 to give thanks 3034 z8687 to the LORD, 3068 because x3588 his mercy 2617 [endureth] for ever; 5769

 16:42 And with x5973 them Heman 1968 and Jeduthun 3038 with trumpets 2689 and cymbals 4700 for those that should make a sound, 8085 z8688 and with musical 7892 instruments 3627 of God. 430 And the sons 1121 of Jeduthun 3038 [were] porters. 8179

 16:43 And all x3605 the people 5971 departed y3212 z8799 x1980 every man 376 to his house: 1004 and David 1732 returned 5437 z8735 to bless 1288 z8763 x853 his house. 1004
