¹⁶ Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

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

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen fourteen sons and three daughters.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the LORD, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ And these are they whom David set over the service of song in the house of the LORD, after that the ark had rest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in Jerusalem: and then they waited on their office according to their order.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
