He warned kings on their behalf.H3240H376H6231H3198H4428 22"Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets."H5060H4899H5030H7489 23Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!

The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.H2342H6440H776H8398H3559H4131 31Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, "The LORD reigns!"H8064H8055H776H1523H559H1471H3068H4427 32Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!

His faithful love endures forever.H3034H3068H2896H2617H5769 35Cry out, "Save us, O God of our salvation!

Worship at Jerusalem and Gibeon

37David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the LORD's Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.H5800H6440H727H1285H3068H623H251H8334H6440H727H8548H3117H1697H3117 38This group included Obed-edom (son of Jeduthun), Hosah, and sixty-eight other Levites as gatekeepers.H5654H251H8346H8083H5654H1121H3038H2621H7778 39Meanwhile, David stationed Zadok the priest and his fellow priests at the Tabernacle of the LORD at the place of worship in Gibeon, where they continued to minister before the LORD.H6659H3548H251H3548H6440H4908H3068H1116H1391 40They sacrificed the regular burnt offerings to the LORD each morning and evening on the altar set aside for that purpose, obeying everything written in the Law of the LORD, as he had commanded Israel.H5927H5930H3068H4196H5930H8548H1242H6153H3789H8451H3068H6680H3478 41David also appointed Heman, Jeduthun, and the others chosen by name to give thanks to the LORD, for "his faithful love endures forever."H1968H3038H7605H1305H5344H8034H3034H3068H2617H5769 42They used their trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments to accompany their songs of praise to God. And the sons of Jeduthun were appointed as gatekeepers.H1968H3038H2689H4700H8085H7892H3627H430H1121H3038H8179 43Then all the people returned to their homes, and David turned and went home to bless his own family.H5971H3212H376H1004H1732H5437H1288H1004
