3
Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.
4
And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel:
5
Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-Edom: Jeiel with stringed instruments and harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals;
6
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.
7
On that day David first delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to thank the Lord:
8
Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples!
9
Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him; Talk of all His wondrous works!
10
Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
11
Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face evermore!
12
Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
13
O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
14
He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15
Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
16
The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
17
And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18
Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the allotment of your inheritance,"
19
When you were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
20
When they went from one nation to another, And from one kingdom to another people,
21
He permitted no man to do them wrong; Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
22
Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
23
Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
