Sirach 50:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ Then all the people together made haste
    and fell to the ground upon their faces
to worship their Lord,
    the Almighty, God Most High.
¹⁸ And the singers praised him with their voices
    in sweet and full-toned melody.^[a]
19 And the people besought the Lord Most High
    in prayer before him who is merciful,
till the order of worship of the Lord was ended;
    so they completed his service.
