They alternated in songs of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord, “for he is good, for his love for Israel endures forever”; and all the people raised a great shout of joy, praising the Lord because the foundation of the Lord’s house had been laid.
The loving deeds of the Lord I will recall, the glorious acts of the Lord, Because of all the Lord has done for us, the immense goodness to the house of Israel, Which he has granted according to his mercy and his many loving deeds.
