1 Esdras 5:59 In-Context

57 and they laid the foundation of the temple of God on the new moon of the second month in the second year after they came to Judea and Jerusalem.

58 They appointed the Levites who were twenty or more years of age to have charge of the work of the Lord. And Jeshua arose, and his sons and kindred and his brother Kadmiel and the sons of Jeshua Emadabun and the sons of Joda son of Iliadun, with their sons and kindred, all the Levites, pressing forward the work on the house of God with a single purpose. So the builders built the temple of the Lord.

59 And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments, with musical instruments and trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals,

60 praising the Lord and blessing him, according to the directions of King David of Israel;

61 they sang hymns, giving thanks to the Lord, "For his goodness and his glory are forever upon all Israel."
