3 And they stood up in their place and aread from the Book of the Law of the Lord their God for one–fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the Lord their God.

“Stand up and bless the Lord your God
Forever and ever!
“Blessed be aYour glorious name,
Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
“Stand up and bless the Lord your God
Forever and ever!
“Blessed be aYour glorious name,
Which is exalted above all blessing and praise!
