Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

O seed of Israel His servant, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

Sing to the LORD, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in holy array.

O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;

and Obed-edom with his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers.

He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place which was at Gibeon,

With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting.

"When your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up one of your descendants after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

"He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

"I will be his father and he shall be My son; and I will not take My lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

"But I will settle him in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever."'"
