David and the leaders of the army separated Asaph’s sons for special service. Asaph’s sons were Heman and Jeduthun. Their special service was to prophesy {\cf2\super [270]} God’s message by using harps, {\cf2\super [271]} lyres, {\cf2\super [272]} and cymbals. {\cf2\super [273]} Here is a list of the men that served this way:
From Jeduthun’s family: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah. There were six of them. Jeduthun led his sons. Jeduthun used harps {\cf2\super [275]} to prophesy {\cf2\super [276]} and give thanks and praise to the Lord.

I said,\par “I will be careful about the things I say.\par I will not let my tongue cause me to sin.\par I will keep my mouth closed {\cf2\super [235]} when I am around wicked people.”\par
\{I may have many enemies,\}\par but God is my fortress. {\cf2\super [365]} \par God saves me.\par God is my place of safety\par high on the mountain.\par Not even great armies can defeat me.\par
God saves me.\par I trust him.\par I am not afraid.\par He saves me.\par The Lord YAH is my strength.\par He saves me.\par And I sing songs of praise about him. {\cf2\super [139]} \par
The Lord wants to show his mercy to you. The Lord is waiting. The Lord wants to rise and comfort you. The Lord God is fair, and every person that waits for the Lord’s help will be blessed (happy).
But people that trust the Lord\par become strong again\par like eagles that grow new feathers.\par These people run without becoming weak.\par These people walk without becoming tired.\par
It was foolish to worship idols on the hills.\par All the loud parties on the mountains\par were wrong.\par Surely the salvation of Israel\par comes from the Lord our God.\par
Brothers and sisters, be patient; the Lord \{Jesus\} will come. So be patient until that time. Farmers are patient. A farmer waits for his valuable crop to grow up from the earth. A farmer waits patiently for his crop to receive the first rain and the last rain. {\cf2\super [26]}
