5 Asaph, who played the cymbals, was the leader. Zechariah was second to him. The other Levites were Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They played the lyres and harps.
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were priests who blew the trumpets regularly before the Ark of the Agreement with God.
7 That day David first gave Asaph and his relatives the job of singing praises to the Lord.
8 Give thanks to the Lord and pray to him.Tell the nations what he has done.
9 Sing to him; sing praises to him.Tell about all his miracles.
10 Be glad that you are his;let those who seek the Lord be happy.
11 Depend on the Lord and his strength;always go to him for help.
