1 And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.

1 וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־אֲרֹ֣ון הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹתֹ֔ו בְּתֹ֣וךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־לֹ֖ו דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹלֹ֥ות וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

2 And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.

2 וַיְכַ֣ל דָּוִ֔יד מֵהַעֲלֹ֥ות הָעֹלָ֖ה וְהַשְּׁלָמִ֑ים וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֶת־הָעָ֖ם בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread and a measure [of wine] and a raisin-cake.

3 וַיְחַלֵּק֙ לְכָל־אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מֵאִ֖ישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁ֑ה לְאִישׁ֙ כִּכַּר־לֶ֔חֶם וְאֶשְׁפָּ֖ר וַאֲשִׁישָֽׁה׃

4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel:

4 וַיִּתֵּ֞ן לִפְנֵ֨י אֲרֹ֧ון יְהוָ֛ה מִן־הַלְוִיִּ֖ם מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ וּלְהֹודֹ֣ות וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;

5 אָסָ֥ף הָרֹ֖אשׁ וּמִשְׁנֵ֣הוּ זְכַרְיָ֑ה יְעִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמֹ֡ות וִֽיחִיאֵ֡ל וּמַתִּתְיָ֡ה וֶאֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָהוּ֩ וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֜ם וִֽיעִיאֵ֗ל בִּכְלֵ֤י נְבָלִים֙ וּבְכִנֹּרֹ֔ות וְאָסָ֖ף בַּֽמְצִלְתַּ֥יִם מַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃

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

6 וּבְנָיָ֥הוּ וְיַחֲזִיאֵ֖ל הַכֹּהֲנִ֑ים בַּחֲצֹצְרֹ֣ות תָּמִ֔יד לִפְנֵ֖י אֲרֹ֥ון בְּרִית־הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

7 Then on that day David delivered first [this psalm] to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.

7 בַּיֹּ֣ום הַה֗וּא אָ֣ז נָתַ֤ן דָּוִיד֙ בָּרֹ֔אשׁ לְהֹדֹ֖ות לַיהוָ֑ה בְּיַד־אָסָ֖ף וְאֶחָֽיו׃

8 Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his acts among the peoples.

8 הֹוד֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ קִרְא֣וּ בִשְׁמֹ֔ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָעַמִּ֖ים עֲלִילֹתָֽיו׃

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; Meditate upon all his wondrous works.

9 שִׁ֤ירוּ לֹו֙ זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֔ו שִׂ֖יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

10 Glory in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

10 הִֽתְהַֽלְלוּ֙ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֔ו יִשְׂמַ֕ח לֵ֖ב מְבַקְשֵׁ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

11 Seek Jehovah and his strength, Seek his face continually;

11 דִּרְשׁ֤וּ יְהוָה֙ וְעֻזֹּ֔ו בַּקְּשׁ֥וּ פָנָ֖יו תָּמִֽיד׃

12 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done; His miracles, and the judgments of his mouth:

12 זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹתָיו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה מֹפְתָ֖יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיהוּ׃

13 Ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.

13 זֶ֚רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עַבְדֹּ֔ו בְּנֵ֥י יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

14 He, Jehovah, is our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

14 ה֚וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֔ינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

15 Be ye ever mindful of his covenant, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --

15 זִכְר֤וּ לְעֹולָם֙ בְּרִיתֹ֔ו דָּבָ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה לְאֶ֥לֶף דֹּֽור׃

16 Which he made with Abraham, And of his oath unto Isaac;

16 אֲשֶׁ֤ר כָּרַת֙ אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֔ם וּשְׁבוּעָתֹ֖ו לְיִצְחָֽק׃

17 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

17 וַיַּעֲמִידֶ֤הָ לְיַעֲקֹב֙ לְחֹ֔ק לְיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּרִ֥ית עֹולָֽם׃

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

18 לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֙ אֶתֵּ֣ן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֔עַן חֶ֖בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃

19 When ye were a few men in number, Of small account, and strangers in it.

19 בִּֽהְיֹֽותְכֶם֙ מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֔ר כִּמְעַ֖ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

20 And they went from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.

20 וַיִּֽתְהַלְּכוּ֙ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֔וי וּמִמַּמְלָכָ֖ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃

21 He suffered no man to oppress them, And reproved kings for their sakes,

21 לֹא־הִנִּ֤יחַ לְאִישׁ֙ לְעָשְׁקָ֔ם וַיֹּ֥וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מְלָכִֽים׃

22 [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

22 אַֽל־תִּגְּעוּ֙ בִּמְשִׁיחָ֔י וּבִנְבִיאַ֖י אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃

23 Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Publish his salvation from day to day.

23 שִׁ֤ירוּ לַֽיהוָה֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיֹּֽום־אֶל־יֹ֖ום יְשׁוּעָתֹֽו׃

24 Declare his glory among the nations, His wondrous works among all peoples.

24 סַפְּר֤וּ בַגֹּויִם֙ אֶת־כְּבֹודֹ֔ו בְּכָל־הָעַמִּ֖ים נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃

25 For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised; And he is terrible above all gods.

25 כִּי֩ גָדֹ֨ול יְהוָ֤ה וּמְהֻלָּל֙ מְאֹ֔ד וְנֹורָ֥א ה֖וּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

26 כִּ֠י כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָעַמִּים֙ אֱלִילִ֔ים וַיהוָ֖ה שָׁמַ֥יִם עָשָֽׂה׃

27 Majesty and splendour are before him; Strength and gladness in his place.

27 הֹ֤וד וְהָדָר֙ לְפָנָ֔יו עֹ֥ז וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֹֽו׃

28 Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Give unto Jehovah glory and strength!

28 הָב֤וּ לַֽיהוָה֙ מִשְׁפְּחֹ֣ות עַמִּ֔ים הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃

29 Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name! Bring an oblation, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.

29 הָב֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו שְׂא֤וּ מִנְחָה֙ וּבֹ֣אוּ לְפָנָ֔יו הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ׃

30 Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established, it shall not be moved.

30 חִ֤ילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו֙ כָּל־הָאָ֔רֶץ אַף־תִּכֹּ֥ון תֵּבֵ֖ל בַּל־תִּמֹּֽוט׃

31 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth!

31 יִשְׂמְח֤וּ הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֥וּ בַגֹּויִ֖ם יְהוָ֥ה מָלָֽךְ׃

32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein.

32 יִרְעַ֤ם הַיָּם֙ וּמְלֹואֹ֔ו יַעֲלֹ֥ץ הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּֽו׃

33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing out at the presence of Jehovah, For he cometh to judge the earth.

33 אָ֥ז יְרַנְּנ֖וּ עֲצֵ֣י הַיָּ֑עַר מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה כִּי־בָ֖א לִשְׁפֹּ֥וט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃

34 Give thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; For his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

34 הֹוד֤וּ לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י טֹ֔וב כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

35 And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, To triumph in thy praise.

35 וְאִמְר֕וּ הֹושִׁיעֵ֙נוּ֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׁעֵ֔נוּ וְקַבְּצֵ֥נוּ וְהַצִּילֵ֖נוּ מִן־הַגֹּויִ֑ם לְהֹדֹות֙ לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֔ךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּ֖חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

36 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.

36 בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִן־הָעֹולָ֖ם וְעַ֣ד הָעֹלָ֑ם וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ כָל־הָעָם֙ אָמֵ֔ן וְהַלֵּ֖ל לַֽיהוָֽה׃

37 And he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to do the service before the ark continually, as every day's duty required;

37 וַיַּֽעֲזָב־שָׁ֗ם לִפְנֵי֙ אֲרֹ֣ון בְּרִית־יְהוָ֔ה לְאָסָ֖ף וּלְאֶחָ֑יו לְשָׁרֵ֞ת לִפְנֵ֧י הָאָרֹ֛ון תָּמִ֖יד לִדְבַר־יֹ֥ום בְּיֹומֹֽו׃

38 and Obed-Edom, and their brethren, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as doorkeepers.

38 וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וַאֲחֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁשִּׁ֣ים וּשְׁמֹונָ֑ה וְעֹבֵ֨ד אֱדֹ֧ם בֶּן־יְדִית֛וּן וְחֹסָ֖ה לְשֹׁעֲרִֽים׃

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

39 וְאֵ֣ת׀ צָדֹ֣וק הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֶחָיו֙ הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים לִפְנֵ֖י מִשְׁכַּ֣ן יְהוָ֑ה בַּבָּמָ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּגִבְעֹֽון׃

40 to offer up burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded Israel;

40 לְֽהַעֲלֹות֩ עֹלֹ֨ות לַיהוָ֜ה עַל־מִזְבַּ֧ח הָעֹלָ֛ה תָּמִ֖יד לַבֹּ֣קֶר וְלָעָ֑רֶב וּלְכָל־הַכָּתוּב֙ בְּתֹורַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖ה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

41 וְעִמָּהֶם֙ הֵימָ֣ן וִֽידוּת֔וּן וּשְׁאָר֙ הַבְּרוּרִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר נִקְּב֖וּ בְּשֵׁמֹ֑ות לְהֹדֹות֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה כִּ֥י לְעֹולָ֖ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

42 and with them, [with] Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud; and the musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were at the gate.

42 וְעִמָּהֶם֩ הֵימָ֨ן וִֽידוּת֜וּן חֲצֹצְרֹ֤ות³ וּמְצִלְתַּ֙יִם֙ לְמַשְׁמִיעִ֔ים וּכְלֵ֖י שִׁ֣יר הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וּבְנֵ֥י יְדוּת֖וּן לַשָּֽׁעַר׃

43 And all the people departed every one to his house; and David returned to bless his household.

43 וַיֵּלְכ֥וּ כָל־הָעָ֖ם אִ֣ישׁ לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וַיִּסֹּ֥ב דָּוִ֖יד לְבָרֵ֥ךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֹֽו׃
