1 Chronicles 16:31-41

31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let men say among the nations, "The LORD reigneth."

32 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.

33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because He cometh to judge the earth.

34 O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

35 And say ye, "Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to Thy holy name, and glory in Thy praise."

36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever! And all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.

37 So he left there Asaph and his brethren before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

38 and Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah, to be doorkeepers;

39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,

40 to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel;

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD because His mercy endureth for ever;
