וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹת֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָטָה־ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹל֥וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
And David finished sacrificing the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings and he blessed the people in the name of the L-rd.

And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to invoke and to thank and praise the Lord God of Yisra᾽el.
And he placed before the ark of the L-rd (some) of the Levites, to minister, and to bring to remembrance and to thank and to praise the L-rd, the G-d of Israel:

Then on that day David first delivered this psalm (to thank the Lord) into the hand of Asaf and his brethren.
