10When the buildersH1129 had laid the foundationH3245 of the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, the priestsH3548 in their apparelH3847 with trumpetsH2689, and the LevitesH3881 (the sonsH1121 of AsaphH623) with cymbalsH4700, took their positionsH5975 to praiseH1984 the LORDH3068, asH5921 DavidH1732 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 had prescribedH3027. 11And they sang responsivelyH6030 with praiseH1984 and thanksgivingH3034 to the LORDH3068:
Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 gave a greatH1419 shoutH7321H8643 of praiseH1984 to the LORDH3068, because the foundationH5921 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 had been laidH3245.
