Sirach 39:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ Listen to me, O you holy sons,
    and bud like a rose growing by a stream of water;
¹⁴ send forth fragrance like frankincense,
    and put forth blossoms like a lily.
Scatter the fragrance, and sing a hymn of praise;
    bless the Lord for all his works;
¹⁵ ascribe majesty to his name
    and give thanks to him with praise,
with songs on your lips, and with lyres;
    and this you shall say in thanksgiving:
