2 Chronicles 5:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, with their sons and brothers, dressed themselves in fine linen, with cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were standing to the east of the altar with one hundred and twenty priests, blowing the trumpets.
13 The trumpeters and the singers joined in unison to offer praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, and when the volume was raised, with trumpets and cymbals and other musical instruments, in praise of the Lord:
“For he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever,”[a]
the temple was filled with the cloud of the glory of the Lord, 14 and as a result of the cloud the priests could not continue to minister, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.
