Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those seeking Yahweh rejoice!

Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his face continually!

Remember his wonderful works that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of his mouth,

O offspring of Israel, his servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!

He is Yahweh our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

Remember his covenant forever, the word he commanded for a thousand generations,

that he made with Abraham, his sworn oath to Isaac.

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

Proclaim his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among the peoples!

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of his name! Lift up an offering and come before him! Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness!

Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good; his loyal love is everlasting.

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh to minister before the ark regularly as each day required,

and he left Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brothers. And Obed-Edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah were gatekeepers.

And he left Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place which was at Gibeon

And with them were Heman and Jeduthun and the remainder of those chosen, who were designated by name to give thanks to Yahweh, for his loyal love is everlasting.

Then all the people went each to his house, and David turned to bless his household.

And as David lived in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, "Look, I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under tent curtains."

And it shall be that when your days are fulfilled to go and sleep with your ancestors, then I will raise up your seed after you, who will be one of your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

He himself will build for me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
