Sirach 50:19-21

Revised Standard Version

¹⁹ And the people besought the Lord Most High
    in prayer before him who is merciful,
till the order of worship of the Lord was ended;
    so they completed his service.
²⁰ Then Simon^[a] came down, and lifted up his hands
    over the whole congregation of the sons of Israel,
to pronounce the blessing of the Lord with his lips,
    and to glory in his name;
²¹ and they bowed down in worship a second time,
    to receive the blessing from the Most High.
