1 Chronicles 16:19-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
19When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, 20And they wandered from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, 21He allowed no one to oppress them, And He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, 22'Do not touch My anointed ones, And do not harm My prophets.' 23Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day. 24Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples. 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 27Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place. 28Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy attire. 30Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. 31 Let the heavens be joyful, and the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, 'The Lord reigns.' 32Let the sea roar, and everything it contains; Let the field rejoice, and everything that is in it. 33Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy in the presence of the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth. 34Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His faithfulness is everlasting. 35Then say, 'Save us, God of our salvation, And gather us and save us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise.'
37So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required,
38and Obed-edom with his sixty-eight relatives; Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers.
39He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place which was at Gibeon,
40to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to everything that is written in the Law of the Lord, which He commanded Israel.
41With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His kindness is everlasting.

Chapter 16
19When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 23Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. 24Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations. 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the people are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. 27Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place. 28Give unto the Lord, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. 29Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 30Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The Lord reigneth. 32Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. 33Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the Lord, because he cometh to judge the earth. 34O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 35And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 36Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the Lord. 37So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required: 38And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters: 39And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon, 40To 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; 41And 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;Christian Standard Bible

19When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan 20wandering from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another, 21he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their behalf:
22"Do not touch my anointed ones or harm my prophets."
23Let the whole earth sing to the Lord. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
24Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all peoples.
25For the Lord is great and highly praised; he is feared above all gods.
26For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
27Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
28Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
29Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;
30let the whole earth tremble before him. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.
31Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, "The Lord reigns!"
32Let the sea and all that fills it resound; let the fields and everything in them exult.
33Then the trees of the forest will shout for joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his faithful love endures forever.
35And say: "Save us, God of our salvation; gather us and rescue us from the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and rejoice in your praise.
37So David left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the Lord’s covenant to minister regularly before the ark according to the daily requirements.
38He assigned Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were to be gatekeepers.
39David left the priest Zadok and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place in Gibeon
40to offer burnt offerings regularly, morning and evening, to the Lord on the altar of burnt offerings and to do everything that was written in the law of the Lord, which he had commanded Israel to keep.
41With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the Lord —for his faithful love endures forever.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
19He said this when you were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan. 20They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 21Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf: 22'Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.'
23Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
24Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
25Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods.
26The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens!
27Honor and majesty surround him; strength and joy fill his dwelling.
28O nations of the world, recognize the Lord, recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
29Give to the Lord the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his presence. Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
30Let all the earth tremble before him. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
31Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, 'The Lord reigns!'
32Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!
33Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.
35Cry out, 'Save us, O God of our salvation! Gather and rescue us from among the nations, so we can thank your holy name and rejoice and praise you.'
37David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.
38This group included Obed-edom (son of Jeduthun), Hosah, and sixty-eight other Levites as gatekeepers.
39Meanwhile, David stationed Zadok the priest and his fellow priests at the Tabernacle of the Lord at the place of worship in Gibeon, where they continued to minister before the Lord.
40They sacrificed the regular burnt offerings to the Lord each morning and evening on the altar set aside for that purpose, obeying everything written in the Law of the Lord, as he had commanded Israel.
41David also appointed Heman, Jeduthun, and the others chosen by name to give thanks to the Lord, for 'his faithful love endures forever.'

Chapter 16
19When you were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, 20wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, 21he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, 22saying, "Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!" 23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. 24Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods. 26For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. 27Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place. 28Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! 29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him!
