Sirach 50:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶Then the sons of Aaron shouted;
    they blew their trumpets of hammered metal;
they sounded a mighty fanfare
    as a reminder before the Most High.
¹⁷Then all the people together quickly
    fell to the ground on their faces
to worship their Lord,
    the Almighty, God Most High.

¹⁸Then the singers praised him with their voices
in sweet and full-toned melody.^[a]
