Then Hezekiah ordered that the burnt offering be offered on the altar. When the burnt offerings began, the song of the Lord and the trumpets began, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.

The whole assembly was worshiping, singing the song, and blowing the trumpets—all of this continued until the burnt offering was completed.

May He remember all your offerings
and accept your burnt offering.Selah

You do not delight in sacrifice and offering;
You open my ears to listen.
You do not ask for a whole burnt offering or a sin offering.

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices
or for your burnt offerings,
which are continually before Me.

with the fragrant smoke of rams;

or honored Me with your sacrifices.

and let them rejoice in My house of prayer.

will be acceptable on My altar,

for all nations.”
