After reading v. 4, move to st. 2 of the refrain, singing several times before the final reading, again undergirding the reading with soft singing or humming. The singing of st. 2 may continue for some time after the reading concludes. When chanting the psalm, allow some silence or repeated singing of the Taizé refrain between vv. 4 and 5.
