4 David appointed some Levites to serve in front of the Lord’s ark by offering prayers, thanks, and praise to the Lord God of Israel.
5 Asaph was the head; Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel with harps and lyres. Asaph played the cymbals.
6 The priests Benaiah and Jahaziel played trumpets all the time in front of the ark of God’s promise.
7 For the first time David entrusted Asaph and his relatives with the task of singing songs of thanks to the Lord:
8 “Give thanks to the Lord.Call on his name.Make known among the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him.Make music to praise him.Meditate on all the miracles he has done.
10 Brag about his holy name.Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
