Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁴ According to the time, and according to the day wherein the heathens had defiled it, in the same was it dedicated anew with canticles, and harps, and lutes, and cymbals.

⁵⁵ And all the people fell upon their faces, and adored, and blessed up to heaven, him that had prospered them.

⁵⁶ And they kept the dedication of the altar eight days, and they offered holocausts with joy, and sacrifices of salvation, and of praise.
