Chambers — That they might be ready to come whensoever they were called to the service of God in the tabernacle. Free — From all trouble and employment, that they might wholly attend upon the proper work. That work — Either composing or ordering sacred songs; or actually singing; or teaching others to sing them. Day and night — Continually, and particularly in the morning and evening, the two times appointed for solemn service. Thus was God continually praised, as it is fit he should be, who is continually doing us good.
