4He 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: 5Asaph 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, 6and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
      7Then on that day David first assigned Asaph and his relatives to give thanks to the LORD.
      8Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name;
            Make known His deeds among the peoples.
      9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
            Speak of all His wonders.
      10Glory in His holy name;
            Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
      11Seek the LORD and His strength;
            Seek His face continually.
      12Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done,
            His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,
      13O seed of Israel His servant,
            Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
      14He is the LORD our God;
            His judgments are in all the earth.
      15Remember His covenant forever,
            The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
