1 Chronicles 16:4

Praise and worshipGratitude

2 When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

3 Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.

5 Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals

6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
