King David's Song of Worship
By: Crickettt
1 Chronicles 15:1-3, 25, 28;
1 Chronicles 16:1-2, 4, 7-36
King David had the Ark of the Covenant brought back to Jerusalem so he and the people of Israel would have Adonai's presence with them. King David delighted in crafting worship songs before the Lord God of Israel. This song was sang with all Israel before Adonai on the day the Ark was brought into Jerusalem. As they all entered Jerusalem, David danced and sang before the Lord with all praise and adoration for all that Adonai had done for Israel.
1 Chronicles 15:1-31 TLV
The Ark of the Covenant arrives
[1] David built houses made for himself in the City of David; he then prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched a tent for it.
[3] David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring the Ark of Adonai up to its place that he had prepared for it.
[25] So David and the elders of Israel and the commanders of the thousands went to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of Adonai out of the house of Obed-edom with rejoicing.
[28] Thus all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of Adonai with shouting, with the sound of the shofar, trumpets and cymbals, and the playing of lyres and harps.
1 Chronicles 16:1-2, 4, 7-36 TLV
Song of King David for worshipping Adonai
[1] They brought the Ark of God and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God. [2] After David finished offering the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the Name of Adonai.
[4] He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the Ark of Adonai, to petition, to thank and to praise Adonai, the God of Israel.
[7] On that day David first appointed Asaph and his kinsmen to give thanks to Adonai: [8] Give thanks to Adonai, call upon His Name. Make His deeds known among the peoples. [9] Sing to Him! Sing praises to Him! Tell of all His wonderful acts. [10] Glory in His holy Name! Let the heart of those who seek Adonai rejoice. [11] Seek Adonai and His strength. Seek His face always. [12] Remember the wonders He has done, His signs and judgments of His mouth, [13] O descendants of Israel His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! [14] He is Adonai our God; His judgments are in all the earth. [15] Remember His covenant forever, the word that He commanded for a thousand generations— [16] that He made with Abraham, swore to Isaac, [17] and confirmed in a decree with Jacob to Israel as an everlasting covenant, [18] saying: “To you I give the land of Canaan as your allotted inheritance.” [19] When you were but a few in number, very few, and strangers in it, [20] and wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another, [21] He allowed no one to oppress them, but for their sake He reproved kings: [22] “Touch not My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.” [23] Sing to Adonai, all the earth! Proclaim His salvation from day to day. [24] Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderous works among all the peoples. [25] For great is Adonai and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods. [26] For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens. [27] Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His place. [28] Ascribe to Adonai, O families of the peoples, ascribe to Adonai glory and strength. [29] Ascribe to Adonai the glory due to His Name. Bring an offering and come before Him. Worship Adonai in the splendor of holiness. [30] Tremble before Him, all the earth! The world is firmly established— it will not be moved. [31] Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations: “Adonai reigns!” [32] Let the sea roar and all that is in it. Let the field rejoice and all that is in it. [33] Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before Adonai, for He comes to judge the earth. [34] Give thanks to Adonai for He is good, for His mercy endures forever. [35] Declare, “Save us, O God of our salvation! Gather and rescue us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy Name, that we may glory in Your praise.” [36] Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then all the people said “Amen,” and “Praise Adonai.”
