4. David appointed some of the Levites to serve before the Lord’s chest in order to remember, to give thanks, and to praise the Lord, Israel’s God:
5. Asaph was the leader, and Zechariah his assistant; also Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel with harps and lyres; Asaph sounding the cymbals;
6. and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blowing trumpets regularly before the chest containing God’s covenant.
7. On the same day, for the first time, David ordered Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the Lord.
8. Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name;make his deeds known to all people!
9. Sing to God, sing praises to him;dwell on all his wondrous works!
