5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

Psalm of Thanksgiving

8 2Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; 3Make known His deeds among the peoples.
9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
10 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
11 4Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
12 5Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, 6His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,
13 O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14 He is the LORD our God; 7His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
