Ezra 3:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 And Jeshua with his sons and brothers, and Kadmiel and his sons—the sons of Judah—together directed the workers in the house of God, along with the sons of Henadad and their sons and brothers the Levites.
10 And the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, and the priests in their apparel with the trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with the cymbals, were positioned to praise Yahweh, as described by[a] King David of Israel. 11 And they sang responsively,[b] with praising and thanksgiving to Yahweh saying, “For he is good, for his loyal love is everlasting for Israel.”
And all of the people responded with a great shout of joyful acclaim in praise to Yahweh because the house of Yahweh was laid.
