¹ And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God. ² And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. ³ And he dealt out to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.

⁵ Assaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah; Je’iel, and Shemiramoth, and Jechiel, and Matthithyah, and Eliab, and Benayahu, and ‘Obed-edom; and Je’iel with psalteries and with harps; but Assaph played aloud with the cymbals.

⁴³ And all the people went every man to his house; and David turned about to bless his house.

⁴ And ‘Obed-edom had sons: Shema’yah the first-born, Jehosabad the second, Joach the third, and Sachar the fourth, and Nethanel the fifth, ⁵ ‘Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Pe’ulthai the eighth; for God had blessed him. ⁶ Also unto Shema’yah his son there were born sons, that were rulers for the house of their father; for they were mighty men of valor. ⁷ The sons of Shema’yah were ‘Othni, and Rephael, and ‘Obed, and Elsahad, his brothers were valiant men, Elihu, and Semachyahu. ⁸ All these were of the sons of ‘Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brethren were valiant men in strength for the service, being sixty and two descendants of ‘Obed-edom.

⁴ Nevertheless the ark of God had David brought up from Kiryath-ye’arim to the place which David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

⁶ And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, which could not be numbered nor told for multitude.

³ And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel, and all the congregation of Israel was standing.

⁵ And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep: and so they dedicated the house of God, the king and all the people. ⁶ And the priests were standing on their stations, and the Levites with the instruments of the music of the Lord, which king David had made to give thanks unto the Lord, because unto everlasting endureth his kindness, with the song of praise of David in their hand; and the priests blew the trumpets opposite to them, and all Israel were standing. ⁷ And Solomon hallowed the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar which Solomon had made was not able to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat.

¹⁰ And on the three-and-twentieth day of the seventh month he dismissed the people unto their tents, joyful and glad of heart because of the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for Israel his people.

¹⁸ For a large portion of the people, even many out of Ephraim, and Menasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, but ate the passover not as it is written. However Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The Lord who is good will grant pardon for this. ¹⁹ To every one that hath directed his heart to seek God, the Lord the God of his fathers; though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.

²⁴ For Hezekiah king of Judah had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes had provided for the assembly one thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and the priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.

²⁷ Then arose the priests the Levites and blessed the people: and their voice was listened to, and their prayer came to His holy dwelling-place, even unto heaven.

⁷ And Josiah set apart for the sons of the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover-sacrifices, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and of steers three thousand: these were of the king’s property. ⁸ And his princes set apart much as a freewill gift for the people for the priests, and for the Levites: Chilkiyah, and Zecharyahu, and Jechiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover-sacrifices two thousand and six hundred lambs and kids, and three hundred steers.

¹² And they removed the burnt-offerings to give them to the divisions of the family divisions of the sons of the people, to offer them unto the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the steers. ¹³ And they roasted the passover by the fire in accordance with the prescribed manner; but the holy offerings they seethed in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the sons of the people.

¹⁰ And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, they placed the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Assaph with cymbals, to praise the Lord, after the manner of David the king of Israel. ¹¹ And they sang responsively in praise and thanksgiving unto the Lord; because he is good, for unto everlasting endureth his kindness toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, while praising the Lord; because the foundation of the house of the Lord had been laid.

¹⁶ Then celebrated the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the exile, the dedication of this house of God with joy; ¹⁷ And they offered for the dedication of this house of God one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

^{3 (3:35)} And Tobiyah the ‘Ammonite was near him, and he said, Even what they are building, if a fox were to run up, he would readily break through their stone wall. ^{4 (3:36)} Hear, O our God! how we are become a scorn; and bring their reproach back upon their own head, and give them up for prey in the land of captivity.

¹⁰ Then said he unto them, Go your way, eat fat things, and drink sweet drinks, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: and do not grieve yourselves; but let the joy of the Lord be your stronghold.

⁵ Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes. ⁶ How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?

⁸ The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.

⁴ Behold, I am too vile: what shall I answer thee? my hand do I place on my mouth.

⁶ Therefore I reject what I have said, and repent; because I am dust and ashes.

⁷ Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter! ⁸ Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. ⁹ Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise them up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter! ¹⁰ Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.

^{11 (30:12)} Thou hast changed my mourning into dancing for me; thou hast loosened my sack-cloth, and girded me with joy.

¹ To the chief musician, a psalm for the sons of Korach. ^(47:2) All ye people, clap your hands; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

^{5 (47:6)} God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet.

^{5 (47:6)} God ascendeth amid a triumphal shout, the Lord, amid the sound of the cornet. ^{6 (47:7)} Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.

^{24 (68:25)} Men see thy goings forth, O God! the goings forth of my God, my King, into the sanctuary. ^{25 (68:26)} First come singers, then follow players on instruments, in the midst of maidens playing on timbrels. ^{26 (68:27)} In assemblies bless ye God, praise the Lord, ye sprung from Israel’s fountain. ^{27 (68:28)} There Benjamin the youngest leadeth them on, the princes of Judah in purple robes, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.

^{7 (69:8)} Because for thy sake have I borne reproach, hath confusion covered my face.

^{7 (69:8)} Because for thy sake have I borne reproach, hath confusion covered my face. ^{8 (69:9)} A stranger am I become unto my brothers, and an alien unto my mother’s children. ^{9 (69:10)} Because the zeal for thy house hath devoured me; and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

⁷⁰ And he made choice of David his servant, and took him from the sheep-folds: ⁷¹ From following the ewes with young he brought him, to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. ⁷² And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and by the skilfulness of his hands did he lead them.

¹ A song of the degrees. Remember, O Lord, unto David all his afflictions; ² How he swore unto the Lord; how he vowed unto the mighty One of Jacob: ³ Surely, I will not enter into the tent of my house, nor ascend the couch of my repose; ⁴ I will not grant any sleep to my eyes, nor to my eyelids any slumber: ⁵ Until I shall have found out a place for the Lord, a dwelling-place for the mighty One of Jacob. ⁶ “Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we met with it in the fields of the forest:

⁶ “Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we met with it in the fields of the forest: ⁷ let us then go into his dwelling: let us prostrate ourselves before his footstool.” ⁸ Arise, O Lord, unto thy resting-place: thou, and the ark of thy strength.

⁵ That at the time when ye do hear the sound of the cornet, flute, guitar, harp, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye shall fall down and bow yourselves to the golden image which king Nebuchadnezzar hath set up:
