Ezra 3:10-11

10And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments came forward with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the Lord, aaccording to the directions of David king of Israel. 11And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the Lord,

bFor he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever toward Israel.”
And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

a rule
Or just decree
of the God of Jacob.
