1.Chronik 16 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
1 Guds Ark blev anbragt i det telt, som David havde ladet indrette til den. Derefter ofrede man brændofre og takofre til Gud, 2 og David velsignede folket i Herrens navn. 3 Så gav han hver af de tilstedeværende, både mænd og kvinder, en gave bestående af et brød, en daddelkage og en rosinkage.

David etablerer lovsang til Herren

4 David udpegede nogle af levitterne til at stå foran Herrens Ark og takke og lovprise Israels Gud. 5 Asaf ledte lovsangen og spillede på bækken. Zekarja, Ja’aziel, Shemiramot, Jehiel, Mattija, Eliab, Benaja, Obed-Edom og Jeiel spillede på harpe og lyre, 6 mens præsterne Benaja og Jahaziel blæste trompet foran Guds Pagts Ark. 7 David gav fra den dag af Asaf og hans medhjælpere* ansvaret for at synge lovsange til Herren. De sang følgende sang: 8 Sig tak til Herren og giv ham ære! Forkynd hans undere for alle folkeslag! 9 Syng og spil til hans ære, tænk på alle de mirakler, han har udført. 10 Glæd jer over hans herlighed. Lad alle, der kender ham, fryde sig! 11 Søg hjælp hos Herren og hans styrke, hold jer altid nær til ham. 12 Tænk på de fantastiske ting, han har gjort, alle de undere, han har udført. 13 I er jo børn af Guds tjener, Abraham, I er de udvalgte efterkommere af Jakob. 14 Han er Herren, vor Gud, han hersker over hele jorden. 15 Han holder altid sine løfter, er trofast gennem tusind generationer. 16 Han står bag sin pagt med Abraham, det løfte han højtideligt afgav til Isak. 17 Han bekræftede den over for Jakob som en vedvarende pagt med Israels folk: 18 „Jeg giver jer Kana’ans land, det skal være jeres særlige ejendom.” 19 Det sagde han, da de endnu var få, en lille flok fremmede i Kana’ans land. 20 De vandrede fra land til land, fra det ene rige til det andet. 21 Men han tillod ingen at skade dem, han advarede konger om at holde sig væk. 22 „Rør ikke mine udvalgte, gør ikke mine profeter fortræd!” 23 Lad hele jorden synge for Herren, fortæl om hans frelse hver eneste dag. 24 Lad alle folk høre om hans vældige undere, fortæl om de forunderlige ting, han har gjort. 25 For Herren er stor, og æren er hans, ingen andre guder er værd at tilbede. 26 Andre folks guder er falske guder, men Herren har skabt både himlen og jorden. 27 Han udstråler kongelig værdighed, styrke og glæde kommer fra ham. 28 Pris Herren, alle verdens folk, erkend hans herlighed og magt. 29 Giv Herren den ære, der tilkommer ham, bring jeres gaver og træd frem for ham. Tilbed Herren i helligt skrud, 30 bøj knæ for ham, alle jordens folk. Han skabte jorden på et sikkert fundament, 31 lad himlen glæde sig og jorden juble. Udråb blandt folkene: „Herren har bevist, han er konge!” 32 Lad havene bruse i lovprisning, lad marken med sin afgrøde juble, 33 lad lovsangen suse i skovens træer, for Herren kommer for at dømme jorden. 34 Tak Herren, for han er god. Hans trofasthed varer til evig tid. 35 Frels os, vor Gud! Bring os tilbage fra landflygtigheden, så vi kan give dig taknemmelighedsofre og lovprise dit hellige navn. 36 Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud. Lad os prise ham nu og til evig tid. Hele folket råbte „Amen” og lovpriste Herren. 37 David indsatte således Asaf og hans levitiske medhjælpere til dagligt at synge og spille lovsange foran Herrens Pagts Ark. 38 De blev assisteret af Obed-Edom, Jedutuns søn, og 68 levitter fra hans slægt. Obed-Edom fik også ansvaret for at holde vagt ved teltet sammen med Hosa. 39 Ofringerne i den gamle helligdom på højen ved Gibeon fortsatte som hidtil. David udvalgte præsten Zadok og en gruppe af de øvrige præster til at stå for ofringerne der. 40 Hver morgen og aften skulle de ofre brændofre for Herren på det alter, som var indviet til formålet, og i det hele taget nøje følge alle de forskrifter, som Herren havde pålagt Israels folk, og som var nedskrevet i lovbogen. 41 Desuden blev Heman, Jedutun og flere andre udvalgt til at tage sig af lovsangstjenesten dér og synge om Herrens evige trofasthed. 42 Med deres trompeter, bækkener og øvrige musikinstrumenter akkompagnerede de lovsangen til Gud. Jedutuns sønner og slægtninge skulle holde vagt. 43 Da højtideligheden var overstået og folket gået hver til sit, gik David hjem for at velsigne sin familie.

English Standard Version

The Ark Placed in a Tent

1 And they brought in the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. 2 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord 3 and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat,* and a cake of raisins. 4 Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel. 5 Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.

David’s Song of Thanks

8 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! 9 Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually! 12 Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles and the judgments he uttered, 13 O offspring of Israel his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones! 14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 15 Remember his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations, 16 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac, 17 which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant, 18 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance.” 19 When you were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it, 20 wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people, 21 he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account, 22 saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!” 23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day. 24 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 25 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods. 26 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. 27 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place. 28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength! 29 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;* 30 tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. 31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!” 32 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! 33 Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. 34 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! 35 Say also: “Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather and deliver us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. 36 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting!” Then all the people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.

Worship Before the Ark

37 So David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister regularly before the ark as each day required, 38 and also Obed-edom and his* sixty-eight brothers, while Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah were to be gatekeepers. 39 And he left Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon 40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, to do all that is written in the Law of the Lord that he commanded Israel. 41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen and expressly named to give thanks to the Lord, for his steadfast love endures forever. 42 Heman and Jeduthun had trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to the gate. 43 Then all the people departed each to his house, and David went home to bless his household.
