Ben Sira 44:5-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

5. Composers of melodious psalms,writers of lyric poems;

6. Stalwart, solidly established,at peace in their own estates—

7. All these were glorious in their time,illustrious in their day.

8. Some of them left behind a nameso that people recount their praises.

9. Of others no memory remains,for when they perished, they perished,As if they had never lived,they and their children after them.
