1 ASI trajeron el arca de Dios, y asentáronla en medio de la tienda que David había tendido para ella: y ofrecieron holocaustos y pacíficos delante de Dios.
2 Y como David hubo acabado de ofrecer el holocausto y los pacíficos, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre de Jehová.
3 Y repartió á todo Israel, así á hombres como á mujeres, á cada uno una torta de pan, y una pieza de carne, y un frasco de vino.
4 Y puso delante del arca de Jehová ministros de los Levitas, para que recordasen, y confesasen, y loasen á Jehová Dios de Israel:
5 Asaph el primero, el segundo después de él Zachârías, Jeiel, Semiramoth, Jehiel, Mathithías, Eliab, Benaías, Obed-edom, y Jehiel, con sus instrumentos de Salterios y arpas; mas Asaph hacía sonido con címbalos:
6 Benaías también y Jahaziel, sacerdotes, continuamente con trompetas delante del arca del pacto de Dios.
7 Entonces, en aquel día, dió David principio á celebrar á Jehová por mano de Asaph y de sus hermanos:
8 Confesad á Jehová, invocad su nombre, Haced notorias en los pueblos sus obras.
9 Cantad á él, cantadle salmos; Hablad de todas sus maravillas.
10 Gloriaos en su santo nombre; Alégrese el corazón de los que buscan á Jehová.
11 Buscad á Jehová y su fortaleza; Buscad su rostro continuamente.
12 Haced memoria de sus maravillas que ha obrado, De sus prodigios, y de los juicios de su boca,
13 Oh vosotros, simiente de Israel sus siervo, Hijos de Jacob, sus escogidos.
14 Jehová, él es nuestro Dios; Sus juicios en toda la tierra.
15 Haced memoria de su alianza perpetuamente, Y de la palabra que él mandó en mil generaciones;
16 Del pacto que concertó con Abraham, Y de su juramento á Isaac;
17 El cual confirmó á Jacob por estatuto, Y á Israel por pacto sempiterno,
18 Diciendo: A ti daré la tierra de Canaán, Suerte de vuestra herencia;
19 Cuando erais pocos en número, Pocos y peregrinos en ella;
20 Y andaban de nación en nación, Y de un reino á otro pueblo.
21 No permitió que nadie los oprimiese: Antes por amor de ellos castigó á los reyes.
22 No toquéis, dijo, á mis ungidos, Ni hagáis mal á mis profetas.
23 Cantad á Jehová, toda la tierra, Anunciad de día en día su salud.
24 Cantad entre las gentes su gloria, Y en todos los pueblos sus maravillas.
25 Porque grande es Jehová, y digno de ser grandemente loado, Y de ser temido sobre todos los dioses.
26 Porque todos los dioses de los pueblos son nada: Mas Jehová hizo los cielos.
27 Poderío y hermosura delante de él; Fortaleza y alegría en su morada.
28 Atribuid á Jehová, oh familias de los pueblos, Atribuid á Jehová gloria y potencia.
29 Tributad á Jehová la gloria debida á su nombre: Traed ofrenda, y venid delante de él; Postraos delante de Jehová en la hermosura de su santidad.
30 Temed en su presencia, toda la tierra: El mundo será aún establecido, para que no se conmueva.
31 Alégrense los cielos, y gócese la tierra, Y digan en las naciones: Reina Jehová.
32 Resuene la mar, y la plenitud de ella: Alégrese el campo, y todo lo que contiene.
33 Entonces cantarán los árboles de los bosques delante de Jehová, Porque viene á juzgar la tierra.
34 Celebrad á Jehová, porque es bueno; Porque su misericordia es eterna.
35 Y decid: Sálvanos, oh Dios, salud nuestra: Júntanos, y líbranos de las gentes, Para que confesemos tu santo nombre, Y nos gloriemos en tus alabanzas.
36 Bendito sea Jehová Dios de Israel, De eternidad á eternidad.
37 Y dejó allí, delante del arca del pacto de Jehová, á Asaph y á sus hermanos, para que ministrasen de continuo delante del arca, cada cosa en su día:
38 Y á Obed-edom y á sus hermanos, sesenta y ocho; y á Obed-edom hijo de Jeduthún, y á Asa, por porteros:
39 Asimismo á Sadoc el sacerdote, y á sus hermanos los sacerdotes, delante del tabernáculo de Jehová en el alto que estaba en Gabaón,
40 Para que sacrificasen continuamente, á mañana y tarde, holocaustos á Jehová en el altar del holocausto, conforme á todo lo que está escrito en la ley de Jehová, que él prescribió á Israel;
41 Y con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún, y los otros escogidos declarados por sus nombres, para glorificar á Jehová, porque es eterna su misericordia;
42 Con ellos á Hemán y á Jeduthún con trompetas y címbalos para tañer, y con otros instrumentos de música de Dios; y á los hijos de Jeduthún, por porteros.
43 Y todo el pueblo se fué cada uno á su casa; y David se volvió para bendecir su casa.
1 Then they took in the ark of God and put it inside the tent which David had put up for it; and they made offerings, burned offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 And when David had come to an end of making the burned offerings and peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord.
3 And he gave to everyone, every man and woman of Israel, a cake of bread, some meat, and a cake of dry grapes.
4 And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;
6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests, blowing horns all the time before the ark of the agreement of God.
7 Then on that day David first made the giving of praise to the Lord the work of Asaph and his brothers.
8 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
9 Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
10 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
11 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
12 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
13 O you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
14 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
15 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
16 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
17 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
18 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
19 When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;
20 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
22 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
23 Make songs to the Lord, all the earth; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
24 Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
25 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and he is more to be feared than all other gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Honour and glory are before him: strength and joy are in his holy place.
28 Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
29 Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come before him; give worship to the Lord in holy robes.
30 Be in fear before him, all the earth: the world is ordered so that it may not be moved.
31 Let the heavens have joy and let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, The Lord is King.
32 Let the sea be thundering with all its waters; let the field be glad, and everything which is in it;
33 Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.
34 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
35 And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.
37 So he made Asaph and his brothers keep their places there before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, to do whatever had to be done before the ark at all times day by day:
38 And Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, with their brothers, sixty-eight of them, to be door-keepers:
39 And Zadok the priest, with his brothers the priests, before the House of the Lord in the high place at Gibeon;
40 To give burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of burned offerings morning and evening, every day, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord which he gave to Israel;
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were marked out by name to give praise to the Lord, for his mercy is unchanging for ever;
42 And Heman and Jeduthun had horns and brass instruments sounding loudly, and instruments of music for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun were to be at the door.
43 And all the people went away, every man to his house; and David went back to give a blessing to his family.
