1 Chronicles 16 (WEBP)

[1] They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
[2] When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name.
[3] He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
[4] He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:
[5] Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
[6] with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
[7] Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to Yahweh by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
[8] Oh give thanks to Yahweh. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.
[9] Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
[10] Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
[11] Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
[12] Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
[13] you offspring of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
[14] He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
[15] Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
[16] the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
[17] He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
[18] saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,”
[19] when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
[20] They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
[21] He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
[22] “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
[23] Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Display his salvation from day to day.
[24] Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
[25] For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
[26] For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.
[27] Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
[28] Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength!
[29] Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
[30] Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can’t be moved.
[31] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”
[32] Let the sea roar, and its fullness! Let the field exult, and all that is in it!
[33] Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth.
[34] Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
[35] Say, “Save us, God of our salvation! Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.”
[36] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen,” and praised Yahweh.
[37] So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
[38] and Obed-Edom with their sixty-eight relatives; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
[39] and Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests, before Yahweh’s tabernacle in the high place that was at Gibeon,
[40] to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in Yahweh’s law, which he commanded to Israel;
[41] and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his loving kindness endures forever;
[42] and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
[43] All the people departed, each man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

Young’s Literal Translation

1 Chronicles 16 (YLT)

[1] And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God;
[2] and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,
[3] and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a grape-cake.
[4] And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites, ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give praise to Jehovah, God of Israel,
[5] Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding;
[6] and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests are with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
[7] On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren:-
[8] Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.
[9] Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
[10] Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.
[11] Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.
[12] Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,
[13] O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
[14] He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.
[15] Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded- To a thousand generations,
[16] Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath-to Isaac,
[17] And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel-a covenant age-during.
[18] Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,
[19] When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and sojourners in it.
[20] And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from a kingdom unto another people.
[21] He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on their account kings:
[22] Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My prophets do not evil.
[23] Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day His salvation.
[24] Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples His wonders.
[25] For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful He is above all gods.
[26] For all gods of the peoples are nought, And Jehovah the heavens hath made.
[27] Honour and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.
[28] Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
[29] Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness.
[30] Be pained before Him, all the earth:
[31] Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among nations: Jehovah hath reigned.
[32] Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field, and all that is in it,
[33] Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth!
[34] Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, is His kindness,
[35] And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us, and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To triumph in Thy praise.
[36] Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto the age;’ And all the people say, ‘Amen,’ and have given praise to Jehovah.
[37] And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day,
[38] both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers,
[39] and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that is in Gibeon,
[40] to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged on Israel.
[41] And with them are Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age is His kindness,
[42] and with them-Heman and Jeduthun-are trumpets and cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun are at the gate.
[43] And all the people go, each to his house, and David turneth round to bless his house.
