Without guidance, people fall,
but with many counselors there is deliverance.

Appointed

Hezekiah stationed the Levites in the Lord’s temple with cymbals, harps, and lyres according to the command of David, Gad the king’s seer, and Nathan the prophet. For the command was from the Lord through His prophets.

The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem observed the Festival of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests praised the Lord day after day with loud instruments.

When the builders had laid the foundation of the Lord’s temple, the priests, dressed in their robes and holding trumpets, and the Levites descended from Asaph, holding cymbals, took their positions to praise the Lord, as King David of Israel had instructed.

At the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, they sent for the Levites wherever they lived and brought them to Jerusalem to celebrate the joyous dedication with thanksgiving and singing accompanied by cymbals, harps, and lyres.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due His name;
worship Yahweh
in the splendor of His holiness.

God appears in radiance.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;
establish for us the work of our hands—
establish the work of our hands!

Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;
tremble before Him, all the earth.

For He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

For He is good,
for His faithful love endures forever.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: “For He is good; His faithful love to Israel endures forever.” Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.

Hallelujah!
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.

Praise the Lord of Hosts,
for the Lord is good;
His faithful love endures forever

as they bring thank offerings to the temple of the Lord. For I will restore the fortunes of the land as in former times, says the Lord.
