2. When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
3. He distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.
4. He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
5. Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,
6. and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7. Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the Lord.
8. Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.
9. Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
10. Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
11. Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.
