And david

Also, the power of God was at work in Judah to unite them to carry out the command of the king and his officials by the word of the Lord.

Be advised that tribute, duty, and land tax must not be imposed on any priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, temple servants, or other servants of this house of God.

Kings will be your foster fathers,
and their queens your nursing mothers.
They will bow down to you
with their faces to the ground,
and lick the dust at your feet.
Then you will know that I am Yahweh;
those who put their hope in Me
will not be put to shame.

Chief

He said to them, “You are the heads of the Levite families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

When they had appointed elders in every church and prayed with fasting, they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

This saying is trustworthy:

“If anyone aspires to be an overseer, he desires a noble work.”

And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

The reason I left you in Crete was to set right what was left undone and, as I directed you, to appoint elders in every town:

The singers

Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the music leader of the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.

These are the men David put in charge of the music in the Lord’s temple after the ark came to rest there.

David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before God with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

Heman and Jeduthun had with them trumpets and cymbals to play and musical instruments of God. Jeduthun’s sons were at the gate.

4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments that I have made for worship.”

David and the officers of the army also set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, who were to prophesy accompanied by lyres, harps, and cymbals. This is the list of the men who performed their service:

The whole assembly was worshiping, singing the song, and blowing the trumpets—all of this continued until the burnt offering was completed.

as well as his relatives—Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David, the man of God. Ezra the scribe went in front of them.

Singers and dancers alike will say,
“My whole source of joy is in you.”

Let them praise His name with dancing
and make music to Him with tambourine and lyre.

Praise Him with trumpet blast;
praise Him with harp and lyre.

Lifting up

The trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank the Lord with one voice. They raised their voices, accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and musical instruments, in praise to the Lord:

For He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

The temple, the Lord’s temple, was filled with a cloud.

When the builders had laid the foundation of the Lord’s temple, the priests, dressed in their robes and holding trumpets, and the Levites descended from Asaph, holding cymbals, took their positions to praise the Lord, as King David of Israel had instructed.

On that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced because God had given them great joy. The women and children also celebrated, and Jerusalem’s rejoicing was heard far away.

For the choir director: on the Gittith. Of Asaph.Sing for joy to God our strength;
shout in triumph to the God of Jacob.

A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.It is good to praise Yahweh,
to sing praise to Your name, Most High,

Come, let us shout joyfully to the Lord,
shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!

A psalm of thanksgiving.Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth.

a sound of joy and gladness, the voice of the groom and the bride, and the voice of those saying,

Praise the Lord of Hosts,
for the Lord is good;
His faithful love endures forever

as they bring thank offerings to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as in former times, says the Lord.

The singers Heman, Asaph, and Ethan were to sound the bronze cymbals;

Sing to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.
