O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,

The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.

Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!For His mercy endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34 with Psalms 106:1 ">[fn]

So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required;

and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;

and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place that was at Gibeon,

and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His mercy endures forever;

Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

2 Samuel 7:1-29">[xr] Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under tent curtains."

And it shall be, when your days are fulfilled, when you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.""'

"And now, O LORD, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have said.
