1 Chronicles 16 — TOJB

16Verse 1So they brought the Aron HaElohim, and set it inside the Ohel that Dovid had pitched for it; and they offered olot (burnt sacrifices) and shelamim before HaElohim.^{Verse 2}And when Dovid had made an end of offering the olot and the shelamim, he blessed HaAm b'Shem Hashem.^{Verse 3}And he apportioned to kol Ish Yisroel, both ish and isha, to every one a kikar lechem, and a good piece of meat, and a raisin cake.^{Verse 4}And he appointed certain of the Levi'im as mesharetim (ministers) before the Aron Hashem, and to remember, and to thank and to praise Hashem Elohei Yisroel;^{Verse 5}Asaph HaRosh, and mishneh to him Zecharyah, Ye'iel, and Shemiramot, and Yechiel, and Mattityah, and Eliav, and Benayah, and Oved-Edom; and Ye'iel with instruments of nevalim (lyres) and with kinnorot; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;^{Verse 6}Benayah also and Yachaziel the Kohanim with khatzotzerot (trumpets) tamid (continually) before the Aron Brit HaElohim.^{Verse 7}Then on that day Dovid first committed the giving of thanks unto Hashem into the yad Asaph and his achim.^{Verse 8}Give thanks unto Hashem, call upon Shmo,
make known His deeds among the nations.
^{Verse 9}Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him,
tell ye of all His nifle'ot (wondrous deeds).
^{Verse 10}Glory ye in Shem Kadesho;
let the lev of them rejoice that seek Hashem.
^{Verse 11}Seek Hashem and His oz,
seek His face tamid.
^{Verse 12}Remember His nifle'ot that He hath done,
His mofetim, and the mishpatim of His mouth;
^{Verse 13}O ye zera Yisroel His eved,
ye Bnei Ya'akov, His chosen ones.^{Verse 14}He is Hashem Eloheinu;
His mishpatim are in kol ha'aretz.
^{Verse 15}Be ye mindful l'olam of His Brit;
the davar which He commanded to an elef dor;
^{Verse 16}Even of the Brit which He cut with Avraham,
and of His shevu'a (oath) unto Yitzchak;
^{Verse 17}And hath confirmed the same to Ya'akov for a chok (decree),
and to Yisroel for a Brit Olam,
^{Verse 18}Saying, Unto thee will I give Eretz Kena'an,
the chevel (portion), the lot of your nachalah.^{Verse 19}When ye were but few,
even a few, and gerim in it.
^{Verse 20}And when they went from goy (nation) to goy,
and from one mamlachah to an Am acher (another people),
^{Verse 21}He permitted no ish to oppress them;
he reproved melachim for their sakes,
^{Verse 22}Saying, Touch not Mine anointed ones,
and do My nevi'im no harm.^{Verse 23}Sing unto Hashem, kol ha'aretz;
show forth from day to day His Yeshu'ah (salvation).
^{Verse 24}Declare His kavod among the Goyim;
His nifle'ot among kol haAmim.
^{Verse 25}For gadol is Hashem, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above kol elohim.
^{Verse 26}For kol elohei haAmim are elilim,
but Hashem made Shomayim.
^{Verse 27}Hod and Hadar are in His presence;
oz and chedvah (joy) are in His makom (place, home, dwelling).
^{Verse 28}Ascribe unto Hashem, ye mishpechot Amim,
ascribe unto Hashem Kavod and oz.
^{Verse 29}Ascribe unto Hashem the kavod due unto Shmo;
bring a minchah, and come before Him;
worship Hashem in the hadar (splendor) of kodesh (holiness).
^{Verse 30}Fear before Him, kol ha'aretz;
the tevel (world) also shall be firmly established, that it be not moved.
^{Verse 31}Let HaShomayim have simcha, and let ha'aretz rejoice;
and let them say among the Goyim, Hashem reigneth.
^{Verse 32}Let the yam roar, and the fulness thereof;
let the sadeh rejoice, and all that is therein.
^{Verse 33}Then shall the trees of the ya'ar (forest, woods) sing out before Hashem,
because He cometh to judge ha'aretz.^{Verse 34}O give thanks unto Hashem, for He is tov;
for His chesed endureth l'olam.
^{Verse 35}And say ye, Hoshienu, Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation),
and gather us together, and deliver us from the Goyim,
that we may give thanks to Shem Kadshecha,
and glory in Thy tehillah (praise).
^{Verse 36}Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel
min HaOlam v'ad HaOlam.
And kol HaAm said, Omein, and praised Hashem.^{Verse 37}So he left there before the Aron Brit Hashem Asaph and his achim, to minister before the Aron tamid (continually), accordingly yom by its yom;^{Verse 38}And Oved-Edom with their achim, threescore and eight; Oved-Edom Ben Yedutun and Chosah as Shoarim (gatekeepers);^{Verse 39}And Tzadok HaKohen, and his achim the Kohanim, before the Mishkan Hashem in the bamah (high place) that was at Giv'on,^{Verse 40}To offer olot (burnt offerings) unto Hashem upon the Mizbe'ach HaOlah tamid (continually) boker and erev, and to do according to all that is written in the Torat Hashem, which He commanded Yisroel;^{Verse 41}And with them Heman and Yedutun, and the rest that were the Chosen ones, who were designated by shemot, to give thanksgiving to Hashem, ki l'olam chasdo.^{Verse 42}And with them Heman and Yedutun with khatzotzerot (trumpets) and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with klei Shir HaElohim (musical instruments of G-d). And the Bnei Yedutun were at the Sha'ar (gate).^{Verse 43}And kol haAm departed every ish to his bais; and Dovid returned to bless his bais.
