Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ In everything he did he offered thanks to the Holy One,
    proclaiming the glory of the Most High.
He sang hymns of praise with all his heart
    to demonstrate his love for his Maker.
⁹ He assigned singers to stand before the altar
    and to provide sweet melody with their voices.
[And they sang his praise daily.]^[a]
10 He invested the festivals with splendor
    and designated their times throughout the year,
when the Lord’s holy name is praised
    and the sanctuary resounds from the moment of dawn.
