They sing and minister before the Lord. People offer sacrifices and praise the Lord. David delivers a psalm of thanksgiving. He praises the Lord. Asaph, Obed-edom, Zadok, and others minister before the Lord. Nathan first approves David’s building of a house of the Lord, then restrains him. David’s son will build the temple.
