Also H1571 in Judah H3063 the hand H3027 of God H430 was to give H5414 them one H259 heart H3820 to do H6213 the commandment H4687 of the king H4428 and of the princes, H8269 by the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068

Also we certify H3046 you, that touching any H3606 of the priests H3549 and Levites, H3879 singers, H2171 porters, H8652 Nethinims, H5412 or ministers H6399 of this H1836 house H1005 of God, H426 it shall not be lawful H7990 to impose H7412 toll, H4061 tribute, H1093 or custom, H1983 on them.

And whoever H3605 will not do H5648 the law H1882 of your God, H426 and the law H1882 of the king, H4430 let judgment H1780 be executed H5648 speedily H629 on him, whether H2006 it be to death, H4193 or H2006 to banishment, H8332 or H2006 to confiscation H6065 of goods, H5232 or to imprisonment. H613

And has extended H5186 mercy H2617 to me before H6440 the king, H4428 and his counsellors, H3289 and before H6440 all H3605 the king's H4428 mighty H1368 princes. H8269 And I was strengthened H2388 as the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 my God H430 was on me, and I gathered H6908 together out of Israel H3478 chief H7218 men to go H5927 up with me.

And kings H4428 shall be your nursing H539 fathers, and their queens H8282 your nursing H3243 mothers: they shall bow H7812 down H7812 to you with their face H639 toward the earth, H776 and lick H3897 up the dust H6083 of your feet; H7272 and you shall know H3045 that I am the LORD: H3068 for they shall not be ashamed H954 that wait H6960 for me.

And said H559 to them, You are the chief H7218 of the fathers H1 of the Levites: H3881 sanctify H6942 yourselves, both you and your brothers, H251 that you may bring H5927 up the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 to the place that I have prepared H3559 for it.

And when they had ordained G5500 them elders G4245 in every G2596 church, G1577 and had prayed G4336 with fasting, G3521 they commended G3908 them to the Lord, G2962 on G1519 whom G3739 they believed. G4100

This G3588 is a true G4103 saying, G3056 If G1487 a man G5100 desire G3713 the office G1984 of a bishop, G1984 he desires G1937 a good G2570 work. G2041

Not given G3943 to wine, G3943 no G3361 striker, G4131 not greedy G866 of filthy lucre; G866 but patient, G1933 not a brawler, G269 not covetous; G866

(For if G1487 a man G5100 know G1492 not how to rule G4291 his own G2398 house, G3624 how G4459 shall he take care G1959 of the church G1577 of God? G2316 )

Moreover G1161 he must G1163 have G2192 a good G2570 report G3141 of them which are without; G1855 lest G2443 G3361 he fall into G1519 reproach G3680 and the snare G3803 of the devil. G1228

Holding G2192 the mystery G3466 of the faith G4102 in a pure G2513 conscience. G4893

Even G5615 so G5615 must their wives G1135 be grave, G4586 not slanderers, G1228 sober, G3524 faithful G4103 in all G3956 things.

For they that have used G1247 the office G1247 of a deacon G1247 well G2573 purchase G4046 to themselves G1438 a good G2570 degree, G898 and great G4183 boldness G3954 in the faith G4102 which G3588 is in Christ G5547 Jesus. G2424

But if G1437 I tarry G1019 long, that you may know G1492 how G4459 you ought G1163 to behave G390 yourself in the house G3624 of God, G2316 which G3748 is the church G1577 of the living G2198 God, G2316 the pillar G4769 and ground G1477 of the truth. G225

And the things that you have heard G191 of me among G1223 many G4183 witnesses, G3144 the same G5023 commit G3908 you to faithful G4103 men, G444 who G3748 shall be able G2425 to teach G1321 others G2087 also. G2532

For this G5127 cause G5484 left G2641 I you in Crete, G2914 that you should set G1930 in order G1930 the things that are wanting, G3007 and ordain G2525 elders G4245 in every G2596 city, G4172 as I had appointed G1299 you:

And David H1732 was clothed H3736 with a robe H4598 of fine linen, H948 and all H3605 the Levites H3881 that bore H5375 the ark, H727 and the singers, H7891 and Chenaniah H3663 the master H8269 of the song H4853 with the singers: H7891 David H1732 also had on him an ephod H646 of linen. H906

Thus all H3605 Israel H3478 brought H5927 up the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 with shouting, H8643 and with sound H6963 of the cornet, H7782 and with trumpets, H2689 and with cymbals, H4700 making a noise H8085 with psalteries H5035 and harps. H3658

And these are they whom H834 David H1732 set H5975 over H5921 the service H3027 of song H7892 in the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 after that the ark H727 had rest. H4494

And these H428 are they that waited H5975 with their children. H1121 Of the sons H1121 of the Kohathites: H6956 Heman H1968 a singer, H7891 the son H1121 of Joel, H3100 the son H1121 of Shemuel, H8050

The son H1121 of Zuph, H6689 the son H1121 of Elkanah, H511 the son H1121 of Mahath, H4287 the son H1121 of Amasai, H6022

The son H1121 of Tahath, H8480 the son H1121 of Assir, H617 the son H1121 of Ebiasaph, H43 the son H1121 of Korah, H7141

And David H1732 and all H3605 Israel H3478 played H7832 before H6440 God H430 with all H3605 their might, H5797 and with singing, H7892 and with harps, H3658 and with psalteries, H5035 and with tambourines, H8596 and with cymbals, H4700 and with trumpets. H2689

And with them Heman H1968 and Jeduthun H3038 with trumpets H2689 and cymbals H4700 for those that should make a sound, H8085 and with musical H7892 instruments H3627 of God. H430 And the sons H1121 of Jeduthun H3038 were porters. H8179

Moreover four H702 thousand H505 were porters; H7778 and four H702 thousand H505 praised H1984 the LORD H3068 with the instruments H3627 which H834 I made, H6213 said David, to praise H1984 therewith.

Moreover David H1732 and the captains H8269 of the host H6635 separated H914 to the service H5656 of the sons H1121 of Asaph, H623 and of Heman, H1968 and of Jeduthun, H3038 who should prophesy H5012 with harps, H3658 with psalteries, H5035 and with cymbals: H4700 and the number H4557 of the workmen H582 H4399 according to their service H5656 was:

Of Jeduthun: H3038 the sons H1121 of Jeduthun; H3038 Gedaliah, H1436 and Zeri, H6874 and Jeshaiah, H3470 Hashabiah, H2811 and Mattithiah, H4993 six, H8337 under H5921 the hands H3027 of their father H25 Jeduthun, H3038 who prophesied H5012 with a harp, H3658 to give thanks H3034 and to praise H1984 the LORD. H3068

All H3605 these H428 were the sons H1121 of Heman H1968 the king's H4428 seer H2374 in the words H1697 of God, H430 to lift H7311 up the horn. H7161 And God H430 gave H5414 to Heman H1968 fourteen H702 H6246 sons H1121 and three H7969 daughters. H1323

And all H3605 the congregation H6951 worshipped, H7812 and the singers H7892 sang, H7891 and the trumpeters H2690 sounded: H2690 and all H3605 this continued until H5704 the burnt H5930 offering was finished. H3615

Moreover Hezekiah H2396 the king H4428 and the princes H8269 commanded H559 the Levites H3881 to sing H1984 praise H1984 to the LORD H3068 with the words H1697 of David, H1732 and of Asaph H623 the seer. H2374 And they sang praises H1984 with gladness, H8057 and they bowed H6915 their heads and worshipped. H7812

And his brothers, H251 Shemaiah, H8098 and Azarael, H5832 Milalai, H4450 Gilalai, H1562 Maai, H4597 Nethaneel, H5417 and Judah, H3063 Hanani, H2607 with the musical H7892 instruments H3627 of David H1732 the man H376 of God, H430 and Ezra H5830 the scribe H5608 before H6440 them.

For in the days H3117 of David H1732 and Asaph H623 of old H6924 there were chief H7218 of the singers, H7891 and songs H7892 of praise H8416 and thanksgiving H3034 to God. H430

As well the singers H7891 as the players H2490 on instruments shall be there: all H3605 my springs H4599 are in you.

Let them praise H1984 his name H8034 in the dance: H4234 let them sing H2167 praises to him with the tambourine H8596 and harp. H3658

Praise H1984 him with the sound H8629 of the trumpet: H7782 praise H1984 him with the psaltery H5035 and harp. H3658

Praise H1984 him with the tambourine H8596 and dance: H4234 praise H1984 him with stringed H4482 instruments H4482 and organs. H5748

It came H1961 even to pass, as the trumpeters H2689 and singers H7891 were as one, H259 to make one H259 sound H6963 to be heard H8085 in praising H1984 and thanking H3034 the LORD; H3068 and when they lifted H7311 up their voice H6963 with the trumpets and cymbals H4700 and instruments H3627 of music, H7892 and praised H1984 the LORD, H3068 saying, For he is good; H2896 for his mercy H2617 endures for ever: H5769 that then the house H1004 was filled H4390 with a cloud, H6051 even the house H1004 of the LORD; H3068

And when the builders H1129 laid the foundation H3245 of the temple H1964 of the LORD, H3068 they set H5975 the priests H3548 in their apparel H3847 with trumpets, H2689 and the Levites H3881 the sons H1121 of Asaph H623 with cymbals, H4700 to praise H1984 the LORD, H3068 after H5921 the ordinance H3027 of David H1732 king H4428 of Israel. H3478

And they sang H6030 together by course in praising H1984 and giving thanks H3034 to the LORD; H3068 because H3588 he is good, H2896 for his mercy H2617 endures for ever H5769 toward H5921 Israel. H3478 And all H3605 the people H5971 shouted H7321 with a great H1419 shout, H8643 when they praised H1984 the LORD, H3068 because H5921 the foundation H3245 of the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 was laid.

Also that day H3117 they offered H2076 great H1419 sacrifices, H2077 and rejoiced: H8055 for God H430 had made them rejoice H8055 with great H1419 joy: H8057 the wives H802 also and the children H3206 rejoiced: H8055 so that the joy H8057 of Jerusalem H3389 was heard H8085 even afar H7350 off.

To the chief H5329 Musician H5329 upon Gittith, H1665 A Psalm of Asaph. H623 Sing H7442 aloud H7442 to God H430 our strength: H5797 make a joyful noise to the God H430 of Jacob. H3290

A Psalm H4210 or Song H7892 for the sabbath H7676 day. H3117 It is a good H2896 thing to give thanks H3034 unto the LORD, H3068 and to sing H2167 praises unto thy name, H8034 O most H5945 High: H5945

On an instrument of ten H6218 strings, and on the psaltery; H5035 on the harp H3658 with a solemn sound. H1902

O come, H3212 let us sing H7442 to the LORD: H3068 let us make a joyful noise to the rock H6697 of our salvation. H3468

A Psalm H4210 of praise. H8426 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, H3068 all H3605 you lands. H776

The voice H6963 of joy, H8342 and the voice H6963 of gladness, H8057 the voice H6963 of the bridegroom, H2860 and the voice H6963 of the bride, H3618 the voice H6963 of them that shall say, H559 Praise H3034 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 for the LORD H3068 is good; H2896 for his mercy H2617 endures for ever: H5769 and of them that shall bring H935 the sacrifice of praise H8426 into the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068 For I will cause to return H7725 the captivity H7622 of the land, H776 as at the first, H7223 said H559 the LORD. H3068
