6. and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
7. That day David first appointed Asaph and his associates to give praise to the Lord in this manner:
8. Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;make known among the nations what he has done.
9. Sing to him, sing praise to him;tell of all his wonderful acts.
10. Glory in his holy name;let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11. Look to the Lord and his strength;seek his face always.
12. Remember the wonders he has done,his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
13. you his servants, the descendants of Israel,his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
14. He is the Lord our God;his judgments are in all the earth.
15. He remembers his covenant for ever,the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
16. the covenant he made with Abraham,the oath he swore to Isaac.
17. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18. ‘To you I will give the land of Canaanas the portion you will inherit.’
19. When they were but few in number,few indeed, and strangers in it,
20. they wandered from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another.
