4. And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:

5. Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6. and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7. Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.

8. O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples.

9. Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous works.

10. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

11. Seek ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore.

12. Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

13. O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
