Sirach 47:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ In everything he did, he gave thanks
to the holy one, the Most High,
with glorious words.
    He sang hymns with all his heart,
    and he loved his maker.
⁹ He appointed singers with harps
before the altar
    to make sweet melody with their sounds.^[a]
10 He brought dignity to the festivals,
    and he adorned the whole cycle
    of sacred seasons,^[b]
    as they were praising God’s holy name,
        and from early morning
        the sanctuary resounded.
