This is the list of the men who performed their service:From Asaph’s sons: Zaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah, and Asarelah, sons of Asaph, under Asaph’s authority, who prophesied under the authority of the king.From Jeduthun: Jeduthun’s sons: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah— six— under the authority of their father Jeduthun, prophesying to the accompaniment of lyres, giving thanks and praise to the LORD.From Heman: Heman’s sons: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth.All these sons of Heman, the king’s seer, were given by the promises of God to exalt him, for God had given Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.All these men were under their own fathers’ authority for the music in the LORD’s temple, with cymbals, harps, and lyres for the service of God’s temple. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman were under the king’s authority.

Psalms 73:18-74:1
Indeed, you put them in slippery places; you make them fall into ruin.How suddenly they become a desolation! They come to an end, swept away by terrors.Like one waking from a dream, Lord, when arising, you will despise their image.When I became embittered and my innermost being was wounded,I was stupid and didn’t understand; I was an unthinking animal toward you.Yet I am always with you; you hold my right hand.You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me up in glory.Who do I have in heaven but you? And I desire nothing on earth but you.My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, my portion forever.Those far from you will certainly perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.But as for me, God’s presence is my good. I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, so I can tell about all you do.Why have you rejected us forever, God? Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
