5 Asaph was appointed leader, with Zechariah as his assistant. Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel were to play harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
6 and two priests, Benaiah and Jahaziel, were to blow trumpets regularly in front of the Covenant Box.
7 It was then that David first gave Asaph and his fellow-Levites the responsibility for singing praises to the Lord.
8 Give thanks to the Lord, proclaim his greatness;tell the nations what he has done.
9 Sing praise to the Lord;tell the wonderful things he has done.
10 Be glad that we belong to him;let all who worship him rejoice!
11 Go to the Lord for help,and worship him continually.
