19 And 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.
20 Then Simon[a] came down and raised his hands
    over the whole congregation of Israelites,
to pronounce the blessing of the Lord with his lips,
    and to glory in his name;
21 and they bowed down in worship a second time,
    to receive the blessing from the Most High.
