1 Chronicles 16:5-15

5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom; and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps, but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.

7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm, to thank the LORD, into the hand of Asaph and his brethren:

8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people.

9 Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him; talk ye of all His wondrous works.

10 Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

11 Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually.

12 Remember His marvelous works that He hath done, His wonders and the judgments of His mouth,

13 O ye seed of Israel His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones!

14 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

15 Be ye mindful always of His covenant, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
