1 Chronicles 16:7

AsaphDavid
Gratitude

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.

On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

8 “Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

9 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
