When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

These things I remember as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God under the protection of the Mighty One with shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng.

When I remember what has happened, I tell God all my troubles. I remember how I used to walk to the house of God. The Mighty One guarded my steps. We shouted with joy and praised God as we went along with the joyful crowd.

These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.

My heart is breaking as I remember how it used to be: I walked among the crowds of worshipers, leading a great procession to the house of God, singing for joy and giving thanks amid the sound of a great celebration!

I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.

I remember these things and pour out my soul within me. For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God, With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, How I went with the throng, and led them to the house of God, With the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping holyday.

I remember this as I pour out my heart: how I walked with many, leading the festive procession to the house of God, with joyful and thankful shouts.

When I remember these[ things], I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

I will remember and weep! For I was once walking along with the great throng to the temple of God, shouting and giving thanks along with the crowd as we celebrated the holy festival.

These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the Lord, To the Mighty One of Israel.

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

I was glad when they said to me,“ Let us go into the house of the Lord.”

But Hannah answered and said,“ No, my Lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord.Do not consider your maidservant a wicked woman, for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief I have spoken until now.”

So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel:Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord:Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,Saying,“ To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,”When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,Saying,“ Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens.Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and gladness are in His place.Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength.Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!Tremble before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved.Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; And let them say among the nations,“ The Lord reigns.”Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, For He is coming to judge the earth.Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.And say,“ Save us, O God of our salvation; Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.”Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people said,“ Amen!” and praised the Lord.So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day’s work required;and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord at the high place that was at Gibeon,to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel;and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endures forever;and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.Then all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

And you shall rejoice in your feast, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant and the Levite, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow, who are within your gates.Seven days you shall keep a sacred feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord chooses, because the Lord your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that you surely rejoice.

On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the Lord had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.

“ Oh, that I were as in months past, As in the days when God watched over me;When His lamp shone upon my head, And when by His light I walked through darkness;Just as I was in the days of my prime, When the friendly counsel of God was over my tent;When the Almighty was yet with me, When my children were around me;When my steps were bathed with cream, And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!“ When I went out to the gate by the city, When I took my seat in the open square,The young men saw me and hid, And the aged arose and stood;The princes refrained from talking, And put their hand on their mouth;The voice of nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.When the ear heard, then it blessed me, And when the eye saw, then it approved me;Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and the one who had no helper.The blessing of a perishing man came upon me, And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.I was eyes to the blind, And I was feet to the lame.I was a father to the poor, And I searched out the case that I did not know.I broke the fangs of the wicked, And plucked the victim from his teeth.“ Then I said,‘ I shall die in my nest, And multiply my days as the sand.My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lies all night on my branch.My glory is fresh within me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.’“ Men listened to me and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.After my words they did not speak again, And my speech settled on them as dew.They waited for me as for the rain, And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain.If I mocked at them, they did not believe it, And the light of my countenance they did not cast down.I chose the way for them, and sat as chief; So I dwelt as a king in the army, As one who comforts mourners.“ But now they mock at me, men younger than I, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished.They are gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,Who pluck mallow by the bushes, And broom tree roots for their food.They were driven out from among men, They shouted at them as at a thief.They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, In caves of the earth and the rocks.Among the bushes they brayed, Under the nettles they nestled.They were sons of fools, Yes, sons of vile men; They were scourged from the land.“ And now I am their taunting song; Yes, I am their byword.They abhor me, they keep far from me; They do not hesitate to spit in my face.Because He has loosed my bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off restraint before me.At my right hand the rabble arises; They push away my feet, And they raise against me their ways of destruction.They break up my path, They promote my calamity; They have no helper.They come as broad breakers; Under the ruinous storm they roll along.Terrors are turned upon me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed like a cloud.“ And now my soul is poured out because of my plight; The days of affliction take hold of me.My bones are pierced in me at night, And my gnawing pains take no rest.By great force my garment is disfigured; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.“ I cry out to You, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You regard me.But You have become cruel to me; With the strength of Your hand You oppose me.You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it; You spoil my success.For I know that You will bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.“ Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins, If they cry out when He destroys it.Have I not wept for him who was in trouble? Has not my soul grieved for the poor?But when I looked for good, evil came to me; And when I waited for light, then came darkness.My heart is in turmoil and cannot rest; Days of affliction confront me.I go about mourning, but not in the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.I am a brother of jackals, And a companion of ostriches.My skin grows black and falls from me; My bones burn with fever.My harp is turned to mourning, And my flute to the voice of those who weep.

Behold, on the mountains The feet of him who brings good tidings, Who proclaims peace! O Judah, keep your appointed feasts, Perform your vows. For the wicked one shall no more pass through you; He is utterly cut off.

How the gold has become dim! How changed the fine gold! The stones of the sanctuary are scattered At the head of every street.

I went out full, and the Lord has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the Lord has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

Sing aloud to God our strength; Make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob.Raise a song and strike the timbrel, The pleasant harp with the lute.Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, At the full moon, on our solemn feast day.

You shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are among you, at the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide.

And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of their brethren, the sons of Merari, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;and with them their brethren of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers;the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah, to direct with harps on the Sheminith;Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor in charge of the music, because he was skillful;Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark;Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.So David, the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.And so it was, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, that they offered seven bulls and seven rams.David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making music with stringed instruments and harps.

“ Arise, cry out in the night, At the beginning of the watches; Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift your hands toward Him For the life of your young children, Who faint from hunger at the head of every street.”

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.

But Abraham said,‘ Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

Then the whole assembly agreed to keep the feast another seven days, and they kept it another seven days with gladness.For Hezekiah king of Judah gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep, and the leaders gave to the assembly a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep; and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, also the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those who dwelt in Judah.So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the time of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.
