1 Chron. 15:15‑28• 15And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of Jehovah.
 16And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
 17So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; {i}and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah{/i};
 18{i}and with them their brethren of the second rank , Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers;{/i}
 19{i}and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, to sound aloud with cymbals of brass;{/i}
 20{i}and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with lutes on Alamoth;{/i}
 21{i}and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to lead the singing .{/i}
 22{i}And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites for the music, gave instruction in music, for he was skilful.{/i}
 23{i}And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.{/i}
 24{i}And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, blew with the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehijah were doorkeepers for the ark.{/i}
 25So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
 26And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams.
 27And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers; David also had upon him an ephod of linen.
 28Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps. (1 Chron. 15:15‑28)
;
1 Chron. 16:1‑43• 1{i}And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had spread for it; and they presented burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.{/i}
 2{i}And when David had ended offering up the burnt-offerings and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.{/i}
 3{i}And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread and a measure of wine and a raisin-cake.{/i}
 4{i}And he appointed certain of the Levites to do the service before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate, and to thank and praise Jehovah the God of Israel:{/i}
 5{i}Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of lutes and with harps; and Asaph sounding with cymbals;{/i}
 6{i}and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.{/i}
 7{i}Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to give thanks to Jehovah through Asaph and his brethren.{/i}
 8{i}Give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;{HR}Make known his acts among the peoples.{HR}{/i}
 9{i}Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him;{HR}Meditate upon all his wondrous works.{HR}{/i}
 10{i}Glory in his holy name:{HR}Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.{/i}
 11{i}Seek Jehovah and his strength,{HR}Seek his face continually;{HR}{/i}

 13{i}Ye seed of Israel his servant,{HR}Ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.{HR}{/i}
 14{i}He, Jehovah, is our God;{HR}His judgments are in all the earth.{HR}{/i}
 15{i}Be ye ever mindful of his covenant,{/i}
 16{i}Which he made with Abraham,{HR}And of his oath unto Isaac;{HR}{/i}
 17{i}And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute,{HR}Unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,{HR}{/i}
 18{i}Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,{HR}The lot of your inheritance;{HR}{/i}
 19{i}When ye were a few men in number,{HR}Of small account, and strangers in it.{HR}{/i}
 20{i}And they went from nation to nation,{HR}And from one kingdom to another people.{HR}{/i}
 21{i}He suffered no man to oppress them,{HR}And reproved kings for their sakes,{HR}{/i}
 22{i}Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,{HR}And do my prophets no harm.{/i}
 23{i}Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;{HR}Publish his salvation from day to day.{HR}{/i}
 24{i}Declare his glory among the nations,{HR}His wondrous works among all peoples.{HR}{/i}
 25{i}For Jehovah is great, and exceedingly to be praised;{HR}And he is terrible above all gods.{HR}{/i}
 26{i}For all the gods of the peoples are idols;{HR}But Jehovah made the heavens.{HR}{/i}
 27{i}Majesty and splendour are before him;{HR}Strength and gladness in his place.{HR}{/i}
 28{i}Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples,{HR}Give unto Jehovah glory and strength!{HR}{/i}
 29{i}Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name!{HR}Bring an oblation, and come before him:{HR}Worship Jehovah in holy splendour.{HR}{/i}

 35{i}And say, Save us, O God of our salvation,{HR}And gather us, and deliver us from the nations,{HR}To give thanks unto thy holy name,{HR}To triumph in thy praise.{HR}{/i}
 36{i}Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity!{HR}And all the people said, Amen! and praised Jehovah.{/i}
 37He left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren to minister before the ark continually, {i}as every day's duty required{/i};
