God

and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations.

And he maketh for himself houses in the city of David, and prepareth a place for the ark of God, and stretcheth out for it a tent.

Then said David, `None are to carry the ark of God, except the Levites, for on them hath Jehovah fixed to carry the ark of God, and to serve Him--unto the age.'

And David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for it.

and saith to them, `Ye are heads of the fathers of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto the place I have prepared for it;

because at the first it was not ye, Jehovah our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'

And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel;

and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder, with staves, above them.

And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah are gatekeepers for the ark.

And it is David, and the elders of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, who are going to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy;

and it cometh to pass, in God's helping the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrifice seven bullocks and seven rams.

And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps,

and it cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul is looking through the window, and seeth king David dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart.

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;

and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah,

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,

and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests are with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: --

Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among the peoples His doings.

Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.

Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart of those seeking Jehovah.

Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face continually.

Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the judgments of His mouth,

O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.
