I will confirm my covenant as a perpetual covenant between me and you. It will extend to your descendants after you throughout their generations. I will be your God and the God of your descendants after you.

David left Asaph and his colleagues there before the ark of the LORD’s covenant to serve before the ark regularly and fulfill each day’s requirements,including Obed-Edom and sixty-eight colleagues. Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun and Hosah were gatekeepers.Zadok the priest and his fellow priests served before the LORD’s tabernacle at the worship center in Gibeon,regularly offering burnt sacrifices to the LORD on the altar for burnt sacrifice, morning and evening, according to what is prescribed in the law of the LORD which he charged Israel to observe.Joining them were Heman, Jeduthun, and the rest of those chosen and designated by name to give thanks to the LORD.( For his loyal love endures!)Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of the music, including the trumpets, cymbals, and the other musical instruments used in praising God. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the entrance.

Recall the miraculous deeds he performed, his mighty acts and the judgments he decreed,

David, Zadok( a descendant of Eleazar), and Ahimelech( a descendant of Ithamar) divided them into groups to carry out their assigned responsibilities.

According to David’s final instructions, the Levites twenty years old and up were counted.Their job was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the LORD’s temple. They were to take care of the courtyards, the rooms, ceremonial purification of all holy items, and other jobs related to the service of God’s temple.They also took care of the bread that is displayed, the flour for offerings, the unleavened wafers, the round cakes, the mixing, and all the measuring.They also stood in a designated place every morning and offered thanks and praise to the LORD. They also did this in the eveningand whenever burnt sacrifices were offered to the LORD on the Sabbath and at new moon festivals and assemblies. A designated number were to serve before the LORD regularly in accordance with regulations.They were in charge of the meeting tent and the holy place, and helped their relatives, the descendants of Aaron, in the service of the LORD’s temple.

Praise the LORD, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds!

The LORD God, the God of Israel, deserves praise! He alone accomplishes amazing things!

David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint some of their relatives as musicians; they were to play various instruments, including stringed instruments and cymbals, and to sing loudly and joyfully.

“ No longer will your name be Jacob,” the man told him,“ but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed.”

Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make known his accomplishments among the nations!

He said,“ The LORD God of Israel is worthy of praise because he has fulfilled what he promised my father David.

David assembled all the leaders of Israel, along with the priests and the Levites.The Levites who were thirty years old and up were counted; there were 38,000 men.David said,“ Of these, 24,000 are to direct the work of the LORD’s temple; 6,000 are to be officials and judges;4,000 are to be gatekeepers; and 4,000 are to praise the LORD with the instruments I supplied for worship.”David divided them into groups corresponding to the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

The LORD said to Aaron,“ You and your sons and your tribe with you must bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you must bear the iniquity of your priesthood.“ Bring with you your brothers, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, so that they may join with you and minister to you while you and your sons with you are before the tent of the testimony.They must be responsible to care for you and to care for the entire tabernacle. However, they must not come near the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.They must join with you, and they will be responsible for the care of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent, but no unauthorized person may approach you.You will be responsible for the care of the sanctuary and the care of the altar, so that there will be no more wrath on the Israelites.I myself have chosen your brothers the Levites from among the Israelites. They are given to you as a gift from the LORD, to perform the duties of the tent of meeting.

O God, please be willing to rescue me! O LORD, hurry and help me!

Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed! Do not envy evildoers!

There he set up an altar and called it“ The God of Israel is God.”

I post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they should keep praying all day and all night. You who pray to the LORD, don’t be silent!Don’t allow him to rest until he reestablishes Jerusalem, until he makes Jerusalem the pride of the earth.
