3. Then he distributed to all the children of Israel, both men and women, a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a raisin cake for each.
4. And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel:
5. Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with the cymbals.
6. Moreover, Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests sounded trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
7. On that day then, David delivered for the first time this psalm of thanksgiving to the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brothers:
8. Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name;make known His deeds among the peoples.
9. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him,recount all His wonders.
10. Glory in His holy name;let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
11. Seek the Lord and His strength;seek His face continually.
12. Remember His wonders which He has done,His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,
13. O seed of Israel, His servant,O sons of Jacob, His chosen.
14. He is the Lord our God;His judgments are in all the earth.
15. Remember His covenant forever,the word He commanded for a thousand generations,
16. that He made with Abraham,even His oath to Isaac.
17. He confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18. saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaanas the portion of your inheritance.”
