Sirach 47:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And he set singers before the altar, and by their voices he made sweet melody.

¹² And to the festivals he added beauty, and set in order the solemn times even to the end of his life, that they should praise the holy name of the Lord, and magnify the holiness of God in the morning.

¹³ The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: and he gave him a covenant of the kingdom, and a throne of glory in Israel.
