10 With all his heart, he praised the Lord and he loved God, who made him and who gave him power against his enemies.
11 And he appointed singers to stand opposite the altar, and by their voices he provided sweet music.
12 And he provided beauty for the celebrations, and he gave order to the times, even until the end of his life, so that they would praise the holy name of the Lord, and magnify the sanctity of God, from early morning.
13 The Lord purged his sins, and he exalted his horn forever. And he gave him the covenant of the kingdom, and a throne of glory in Israel.
14 After him, an understanding son rose up. And by means of him, he cast down all the power of the enemies.
15 Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God subjected all his enemies to him, so that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for all time. O how well-taught you were in your youth!
16 And you were filled with wisdom like a river, and your mind exposed the world.
