Sirach 47:9
King James VersionSource notes
“He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.”
Context
6So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.
7For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.
8In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.
9He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.
10He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemn times until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound from morning.
11The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.
12After him rose up a wise son, and for his sake he dwelt at large.
