1 Chronicles 16:31-41

31 So let heaven rejoice, let earth be jubilant, and pass the word among the nations, "God reigns!"

32 Let Ocean, all teeming with life, bellow, let Field and all its creatures shake the rafters;

33 Then the trees in the forest will add their applause to all who are pleased and present before God - he's on his way to set things right!

34 Give thanks to God - he is good and his love never quits.

35 Say, "Save us, Savior God, round us up and get us out of these godless places, So we can give thanks to your holy Name, and bask in your life of praise."

36 Blessed be God, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Then everybody said, "Yes! Amen!" and "Praise God!"

37 David left Asaph and his coworkers with the Chest of the Covenant of God and in charge of the work of worship; they were responsible for the needs of worship around the clock.

38 He also assigned Obed-Edom and his sixty-eight relatives to help them. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were in charge of the security guards.

39 The priest Zadok and his family of priests were assigned to the Tent of God at the sacred mound at Gibeon

40 to make sure that the services of morning and evening worship were conducted daily, complete with Whole-Burnt-Offerings offered on the Altar of Burnt Offering, as ordered in the Law of God, which was the norm for Israel.

41 With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and others specifically named, with the job description: "Give thanks to God, for his love never quits!"
