Chapter 16
2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord. 3Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both men and women, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a raisin cake.
4He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to celebrate and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, and lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,
6and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
8Give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make His deeds known among the peoples.
9Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
10Boast in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.
11Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.
12Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

12Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
