1 The Arke being placed, they offer sacrifices. 4 Dauid or∣deineth* 1.1 Asaph and his brethren to minister before the Lorde. 8 He appointeth a notable Psalme to be sung in praise of the Lord.

1 SO * they broght in the Arke of God, and* 1.2 set in the middes of the Tabernacle that dauid had pitched for it, & they offred burnt offrings and peace offrings before God.

2 And when Dauid had made an end of offring the burnt offring ād the peace offrings, hea 1.3 blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.

3 And he dealt to euerie one of Israél both mā and woman, to euerie one a cake of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a bottel of (wine.)

4 And he appointed certeine of the Leuites to minister before the Arke of the Lord, and tob 1.4 rehearse and to thanke ād praise the Lord God of Israél.

5 Asaph the chief, and next to hym Zecha∣riah, Ieiél, and Shemiramoth, and Iehiél, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and O∣béd Edóm, euen Ieiél with instruments, vio∣les and harpes, and Asaph to make a sounde with cymbales.

6 (And) Benaiah and Iahaziél Priestes, with trumpets continually before the Arke of the couenant of God.

7 Then at that time Dauid didc 1.5 appoint at the* 1.6 * 1.7 biginnyng to giue thankes to the Lorde by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8 * Praise the Lorde (and) call vpon his Name: declare hisd 1.8 workes among the people.

9 Sing vnto hym, sing prayse vnto hym, (and) talke of all hise 1.9 wonderful workes.

10 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the hearts of them that seke the Lord reioyce.

11 Seke the Lord and his strength: seke his fa∣ce continually.

12 Remember his maruelous workes that he hathe done, his wōders, and thef 1.10 iudgemēts of his mouth,

13 O sede of Israél his seruant, ô the children of Iaak ôb hisg 1.11 chosen.

14 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements (are) throughout all the earth.

15 Remember his couenant for euer, (and) the worde, which he commanded to a thousand generacions:

16 * Whiche he made with Abrahám, and his* 1.12 * 1.13 othe to Izhák:* 1.14

17 And hathe confirmed it to Iaakōb for a Lawe, (and) to Israél for an euerlasting coue∣nant,

18 Saying, To thee wil I giue the land of Ca∣náan, the” 1.15 lot of your inheritance.

19 When ye wereh 1.16 fewe in nomber, yea, a very fewe, and strangers therein,

20 And walke about 〈◊〉〈◊〉 nacion to nacion, and from (one) kingdome to another peo∣ple.

21 He suffred no man to do them wrong, but rebukedi 1.17 Kings for their sakes, saying,

22 Touche not minek 1.18 anointed, and do myl 1.19 Prophetes no harme.

23 *Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: 〈◊〉〈◊〉 his saluacion from day to day.

24 Declare his glorie among the nacions, and his wonderful workes among all people.

25 For the Lord (is) great and muche to be prai∣sed, and he is to be feared aboue all gods.* 1.20

26 For all the gods of the people (are)m 1.21 idoles but the Lord made the heauens.

27 Praise and glorie (are) before him: power & beautie (are) in his place.

28 Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the peo∣ple: giue vnto the Lord glorie and power.

29 Giue vnto the Lord the glorie of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, (and) worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctua∣rie.

30 n 1.22 Tremble ye before him, all the earth: surely the worlde shal be stable (and,) not moue.

31 Let theo 1.23 heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nacions The Lord reigneth.

32 Let the sea roare, and all that therein is: let the field be ioyful and all that is in it.

33 Let the trees of the wood thē reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth top 1.24 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the earth.

34 Praise the Lord, for he is good, for his mer∣cie (endureth) for euer.

35 And say ye, Saue vs, ô God, our saluacion, & gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, andq 1.25 glorie in thy praise.

36 Blessed (be) the Lord God of Israél for euer and euer: and let all people say,r 1.26 So be it, and praise the Lord.

37 ¶Then he left there before the Arke of the Lords couenant Asáph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euerie day:

38 And Obéd Edóm and his brethrē, thre score and eight: and Obéd Edóm the sonne of Ie∣duthún, and Hosáh (were) porters.

39 And Zadōk the Priest and his brethren the Priests (were) before the Tabernacle of the Lord, in the hie place that was at Gibeōn,

40 To offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, vpon the burnt offring altar cōtinually, in the mor ning and in the euening, euen according vn∣to all that is written in the Lawe of the Lord which he commanded Israél.

41 And with thems 1.27 were Hemán, & Ieduthún and the rest that were chosen, [which were appointed by names] to praise the Lord, be∣cause his mercie (endureth) for euer.

42 Euen with them (were) Hemán and Iedu∣thún to make a sounde with the cornets and with the cymbales, with excellent instrumēts of 〈◊〉〈◊〉. and the sonnes of Ieduthún were at the gate.

43 And all the people departed, euerie man to his house: and Dauid returned tot 1.28 blesse his house.
