1-3. They brought the Chest of God and placed it right in the center of the tent that David had pitched for it; then they worshiped by presenting burnt offerings and peace offerings to God. When David had completed the offerings of worship, he blessed the people in the name of God. Then he passed around to every one there, men and women alike, a loaf of bread, a slice of barbecue, and a raisin cake.
20-22. They wandered from country to country,camped out in one kingdom after another;But he didn’t let anyone push them around,he stood up for them against bully-kings:“Don’t you dare touch my anointed ones,don’t lay a hand on my prophets.”
23-27. Sing to God, everyone and everything!Get out his salvation news every day!Publish his glory among the godless nations,his wonders to all races and religions.And why? Because God is great—well worth praising!No god or goddess comes close in honor.All the popular gods are stuff and nonsense,but God made the cosmos!Splendor and majesty flow out of him,strength and joy fill his place.
