1 Chronicles 16:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 Benaiah and Jahaziel were the priests who normally blew the trumpets before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord.[a]
7 On that day David first gave Asaph and his brethren this psalm of thanks to the Lord:
8 [b]Give thanks to the Lord, call upon his name;
make his deeds known among the nations.
Footnotes
- 1 Chronicles 16:6 The trumpets were to be blown only by priests; the cymbals of the leaders of the choirs set the rhythm.
- 1 Chronicles 16:8 The prayer is composed of sections of several Psalms (Pss 105:1-15; 96; 106:1, 47-48). The author’s purpose is to provide a model for the Jerusalem liturgy.
