Wisdom of Ben Sira 47:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ For he destroyed his enemies on every side,
    annihilating the hostile Philistines
    whose power remains crushed to the present day.
⁸ In everything he did he offered thanks to the Holy One,
    proclaiming the glory of the Most High.
He sang hymns of praise with all his heart
    to demonstrate his love for his Maker.
⁹ He assigned singers to stand before the altar
    and to provide sweet melody with their voices.
[And they sang his praise daily.]^[a]
