Ezra 3:10

When the builders laid the foundation.

Zerubbabel and Jeshua, the high priest, who presided over the work. "So important seemed the step thus taken that the day was celebrated with the finest display of the old pomp on which they had yet ventured. The priests, in the rich dresses that Zerubbabel had, out of the princely munificence, furnished, blew their silver trumpets; the sons of Asaph once more clashed their brazen cymbals. Many of the Psalms were doubtless composed and used upon this occasion. One strain especially rang above all--that runs through the 106th, 107th, 118th and 136th Psalms. 'O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is and his mercy endureth forever.'"-- Dean Stanley.
