5 The Levites — Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah — said: “Stand up! Bless ADONAI your God, from everlasting to everlasting! May Your glorious Name be blessed; may it be exalted above all blessing and praise.

6 You alone are ADONAI. You made the heavens, even the highest heaven with all its array, [1] the earth and everything on it, the seas and everything in them. You give life to them all, and the multitudes of heaven worship You.

7 “You are ADONAI, the God who chose Abram, brought him from Ur of the Chaldeans and gave him the name Abraham.
