10 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,(B) holding cymbals, took their positions to praise the Lord, as King David of Israel had instructed.(C) 11 They sang with praise and thanksgiving to the Lord: “For He is good; His faithful love to Israel endures forever.”(D) Then all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.(E)
