1 Chronicles 16:34–42

³⁴Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;

His loving devotion^c endures forever.

³⁵Then cry out: ‘Save us, O God of our salvation;

gather and deliver us from the nations,

that we may give thanks to Your holy name,

that we may glory in Your praise.’

³⁶Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.”

Then all the people said, “Amen!” and “Praise the LORD!”

³⁷So David left Asaph and his associates there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to minister there regularly according to the daily requirements, ³⁸along with Obed-edom and his sixty-eight relatives. Obed-edom son of Jeduthun, and also Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.

³⁹And David left Zadok the priest and his fellow priests before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon ⁴⁰to regularly present burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offerings, morning and evening, according to all that was written in the Law of the LORD, which He had commanded Israel to keep. ⁴¹With them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD, for “His loving devotion endures forever.”

⁴²Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments for the songs of God.^d And the sons of Jeduthun were stationed at the gate.
