(1ch 16:2) And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
(1ch 16:3) And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon {of wine}.
(1ch 16:4) 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:
(1ch 16:5) Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
(1ch 16:6) Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
(1ch 16:7) Then on that day David delivered first {this psalm} to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

(1ch 16:14) He {is} the Lord our God; his judgments {are} in all the earth.
(1ch 16:15) Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word {which} he commanded to a thousand generations;
(1ch 16:16) {Even of the covenant} which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
(1ch 16:17) And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, {and} to Israel {for} an everlasting covenant,
(1ch 16:18) Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
(1ch 16:19) When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
(1ch 16:20) And {when} they went from nation to nation, and from {one} kingdom to another people;
(1ch 16:21) He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
(1ch 16:22) {Saying}, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
(1ch 16:23) Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

(1ch 16:30) Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
(1ch 16:31) Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let {men} say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.
(1ch 16:32) Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that {is} therein.
(1ch 16:33) Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth.
(1ch 16:34) O give thanks unto the Lord; for {he is} good; for his mercy {endureth} for ever.

(1ch 16:40) 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;
(1ch 16:41) 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;
(1ch 16:42) 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.
(1ch 16:43) And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
