The Reign of David

And walked about from nation to nation, and from one kingdome to another people,

He suffered no man to do them wrong, but rebuked Kings for their sakes, saying,

Touch not mine anoynted, and doe my Prophets no harme.

Sing vnto the Lord all the earth: declare his saluation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations, and his wonderful workes among all people.

For the Lord is great and much to be praised, and hee is to bee feared aboue all gods.

For all the gods of the people are idoles, but the Lord made the heauens.

Prayse and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his place.

Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power.

Giue vnto the Lord ye glory of his Name: bring an offring and come before him, and worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie.

Tremble ye before him, al the earth: surely the world shalbe stable and not moue.

Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad, and let them say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.

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

Let the trees of the wood then reioyce at the presence of the Lord: for he commeth to iudge the earth.

Prayse the Lord, for hee is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.

And say ye, Saue vs, O God, our saluation, and gather vs, and deliuer vs from the heathen, that we may prayse thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer: and let all people say, So be it, and praise the Lord.

Then he left there before the Arke of the Lordes couenant Asaph and his brethren to minister continually before the Arke, that which was to be done euery day:

And Obed Edom and his brethren, three score and eight: and Obed Edom the sonne of Ieduthun, and Hosah were porters.

And Zadok the Priest and his brethren the Priestes were before the Tabernacle of ye Lord, in the hie place that was at Gibeon,

To offer burnt offrings vnto the Lord, vpon the burnt offring altar continually, in the morning and in the euening, euen according vnto all that is written in the law of the Lord, which hee commanded Israel.

And with them were Heman, and Ieduthun, and the rest that were chosen (which were appointed by names) to praise the Lord, because his mercie endureth for euer.

Euen with them were Heman and Ioduthun, to make a sound with the cornets and with the cymbales, with excellent instruments of musicke: and the sonnes of Ieduthun were at the gate.

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

Nowe afterward when Dauid dwelt in his house, he saide to Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, I dwell in an house of cedar trees, but the Arke of the Lordes couenant remaineth vnder curtaines.
