my reflections fill me as full as the moon at the full
listen to me
and blossom like the rose that grows on the bank of a stream
give off a sweet smell like incense
flower like the lily
spread your fragrance abroad
sing a song of praise
blessing the Lord for all his works
declare the greatness of His name
proclaim His praise
with song and with lyre
and this is how you must sing His praises
how wonderful they are
all the works of the Lord
all that He orders is promptly carried out
You must not say
"What is this? Why is that?"
all will be studied in due time
Sirach 39:12-16
