[2]And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎. [No book]
[3]And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake. [No book]
[4]And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, and to celebrate and to thank and praise ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, the God of Israel: [No book]
[5]Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; [No book]
[6]And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God. [No book]
[7]Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren. [No book]

[26]For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ made the heavens. [No book]

[32]Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; let the field exult, and all that is therein; [No book]
[33]Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy, before ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎, for He is come to judge the earth. [No book]

[42]And with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. [No book]
[43]And all the people departed every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house. [No book]
