David And The Ark
DIGITAL MUSIC FILE David was a man who loved the Lord
And followed after him with all his heart
And after Israel made David King,
He said "We're going to bring back the ark" So he gathered all Israel together
He assembled the children of Aaron and Levi
Of the sons of Kohath, Merari and Gershom
Elizaphan, Uzziel and Hebron
Then he called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests
For Joel and Eliel the Levi fathers' chiefs
For Uriel, Shemaiah, Amminadab and Asaiah
"Go sanctify yourselves so we can bring the Ark" So David said,
"Appoint your brethren to be the singers
With instruments of music like the harp
I've prepared a place and a brand new wagon
Today we're bringing home the ark
We'll bring it on a brand new cart" Chorus: There was the sound of the cymbal
The trumpet and the timbrel*
The psaltery and the harp
It was a day of rejoicing
They were lifting up their voices
King David was dancing.
They were bringing back the ark So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel
And of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berachiah
And Ethan the son of Kushaiah
Of the sons of their brethren, Merari And with them their brethren of the second degree
Zechariah Ben and Jaaziel,
Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab Benaiah
Maaseiah, Matathiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah
Obededom and Jeiel So the singers Heman, Asaph and Ethan
Were appointed to the sound of the cymbals of brass
And Zechariah, Benaiah, Maaseiah and Eliab
Aziel, Jeiel, Shemiramoth
With their brethren Unni
They were skilful and cunning
With their psalteries on Alamoth And on the harps Mikneiah, Obededom Matathiah
Elipheleh Azaziah, Jeiel
And for the song Cheneniah But Elipheleh Berachiah
Obededom and Jeiah were door keepers for the ark Chorus: Then the priests, Zechariah, Netheneel and Shebaniah
Jehoshaphat, Benaiah, Amasai
And Eliezer were the priests that blew the trumpet
Before the ark of God So David and the elders and the captains over thousands
Went to bring up the ark of the covenant of God
Out of the house of Obededom where they'd left it
'Cause they feared when God struck Uzza
'Cause he took hold of the ark
