1
So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-sacrifices and peace-offerings before God.
2
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon [of wine].
4
And he appointed [certain] of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:
5
Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: 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 to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
9
Sing to him, sing psalms to him, talk ye of all his wonderous works.
