1 Chronicles 16:32-42

32 Let the sea roar, and everything in it; let the fields exult, and all that is in them.

33 Then the trees in the forest will sing before ADONAI, because he has come to judge the earth.

34 Give thanks to ADONAI; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.

35 Say: "Save us, God who can save us! Gather and rescue us from the nations; so that we can thank your holy name and glory in praising you.

36 Blessed be ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, from eternity past to eternity future!" All the people said, "Amen!" and praised ADONAI.

37 So, there before the ark for the covenant of ADONAI, David left Asaf and his kinsmen to perform the service regularly before the ark, as each day's work required;

38 also 'Oved-Edom with their kinsmen, sixty-eight of them -'Oved-Edom the son of Y'dutun and Hosah were gatekeepers.

39 He left Tzadok the cohen with his kinsmen before the tabernacle of ADONAI at the high place in Giv'on

40 to offer burnt offerings to ADONAI every morning and evening on the altar for burnt offerings, according to everything written in the Torah of ADONAI, which he gave to Isra'el.

41 With them were Heman and Y'dutun and the rest who were chosen and assigned by name to give thanks to ADONAI, because his grace continues forever.

42 With them were Heman and Y'dutun to play trumpets and cymbals, also instruments for the songs about God; while the sons of Y'dutun were assigned to the gate.
