1 Chronicles 16:1-9

1 They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace-offerings before God.

2 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

3 He dealt to everyone of Yisra'el, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins.

4 He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Yisra'el:

5 Asaf the chief, and second to him Zekharyah, Ye`i'el, and Shemiramot, and Yechi'el, and Mattityah, and Eli'av, and Benayah, and `Oved-'Edom, and Ye`i'el, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaf with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6 and Benayah and Yachazi'el the Kohanim with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to the LORD, by the hand of Asaf and his brothers.

8 Oh give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; Make known his doings among the peoples.

9 Sing to him, sing praises to him; Talk you of all his marvelous works.
