1.Chronik 16 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
1Guds Ark blev anbragt i det telt, som David havde ladet indrette til den. Derefter ofrede man brændofre og takofre til Gud,2og David velsignede folket i Herrens navn.3Så 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
4David udpegede nogle af levitterne til at stå foran Herrens Ark og takke og lovprise Israels Gud.5Asaf ledte lovsangen og spillede på bækken. Zekarja, Ja’aziel, Shemiramot, Jehiel, Mattija, Eliab, Benaja, Obed-Edom og Jeiel spillede på harpe og lyre,6mens præsterne Benaja og Jahaziel blæste trompet foran Guds Pagts Ark.7David gav fra den dag af Asaf og hans medhjælpere* ansvaret for at synge lovsange til Herren. De sang følgende sang:8Sig tak til Herren og giv ham ære! Forkynd hans undere for alle folkeslag!9Syng og spil til hans ære, tænk på alle de mirakler, han har udført.10Glæd jer over hans herlighed. Lad alle, der kender ham, fryde sig!11Søg hjælp hos Herren og hans styrke, hold jer altid nær til ham.12Tænk på de fantastiske ting, han har gjort, alle de undere, han har udført.13I er jo børn af Guds tjener, Abraham, I er de udvalgte efterkommere af Jakob.14Han er Herren, vor Gud, han hersker over hele jorden.15Han holder altid sine løfter, er trofast gennem tusind generationer.16Han står bag sin pagt med Abraham, det løfte han højtideligt afgav til Isak.17Han 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.”19Det sagde han, da de endnu var få, en lille flok fremmede i Kana’ans land.20De vandrede fra land til land, fra det ene rige til det andet.21Men han tillod ingen at skade dem, han advarede konger om at holde sig væk.22„Rør ikke mine udvalgte, gør ikke mine profeter fortræd!”23Lad hele jorden synge for Herren, fortæl om hans frelse hver eneste dag.24Lad alle folk høre om hans vældige undere, fortæl om de forunderlige ting, han har gjort.25For Herren er stor, og æren er hans, ingen andre guder er værd at tilbede.26Andre folks guder er falske guder, men Herren har skabt både himlen og jorden.27Han udstråler kongelig værdighed, styrke og glæde kommer fra ham.28Pris Herren, alle verdens folk, erkend hans herlighed og magt.29Giv Herren den ære, der tilkommer ham, bring jeres gaver og træd frem for ham. Tilbed Herren i helligt skrud,30bøj knæ for ham, alle jordens folk. Han skabte jorden på et sikkert fundament,31lad himlen glæde sig og jorden juble. Udråb blandt folkene: „Herren har bevist, han er konge!”32Lad havene bruse i lovprisning, lad marken med sin afgrøde juble,33lad lovsangen suse i skovens træer, for Herren kommer for at dømme jorden.34Tak Herren, for han er god. Hans trofasthed varer til evig tid.35Frels os, vor Gud! Bring os tilbage fra landflygtigheden, så vi kan give dig taknemmelighedsofre og lovprise dit hellige navn.36Lovet være Herren, Israels Gud. Lad os prise ham nu og til evig tid. Hele folket råbte „Amen” og lovpriste Herren.37David indsatte således Asaf og hans levitiske medhjælpere til dagligt at synge og spille lovsange foran Herrens Pagts Ark.38De 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.39Ofringerne 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.40Hver 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.41Desuden blev Heman, Jedutun og flere andre udvalgt til at tage sig af lovsangstjenesten dér og synge om Herrens evige trofasthed.42Med deres trompeter, bækkener og øvrige musikinstrumenter akkompagnerede de lovsangen til Gud. Jedutuns sønner og slægtninge skulle holde vagt.43Da højtideligheden var overstået og folket gået hver til sit, gik David hjem for at velsigne sin familie.

The Ark Placed in a Tent
1And 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.2And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord3and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat,* and a cake of raisins.4Then 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.5Asaph 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,6and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.7Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.
David’s Song of Thanks
8Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!9Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!10Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!11Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!12Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles and the judgments he uttered,13O offspring of Israel his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!14He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.15Remember his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,16the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,17which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,18saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, as your portion for an inheritance.”19When you were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,20wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,21he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,22saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”23Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.24Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!25For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods.26For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.27Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.28Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!29Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him! Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;*30tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.31Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”32Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it!33Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.34Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!35Say 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.36Blessed 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
37So 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,38and also Obed-edom and his* sixty-eight brothers, while Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah were to be gatekeepers.39And he left Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon40to 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.41With 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.42Heman and Jeduthun had trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to the gate.43Then all the people departed each to his house, and David went home to bless his household.
