Sirach 50:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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]
¹⁹And the people of the Lord Most High offered
    their prayers before the Merciful One,
until the order of worship of the Lord was ended,
    and they completed his ritual.
