30 And to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at even;
30 They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord. They were to do the same in the evening
30 And they were to stand every morning, thanking and praising the Lord, and likewise at evening,
30 Also they were to be present for morning prayers, thanking and praising God, for evening prayers,
30 to stand every morning to thank and praise the Lord, and likewise at evening;
30 And each morning and evening they stood before the Lord to sing songs of thanks and praise to him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 23:30
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 23:24-32
(Read 1 Chronicles 23:24-32)
Now the people of Israel were so many, there should be more employed in the temple service, that every Israelite who brought an offering might find a Levite ready to help him. When more work is to be done, it is pity but there should be more workmen. A new heart, a spiritual mind, which delights greatly in God's commandments, and can find a refreshing feast in his ordinances, forms the great distinction between the true Christian and all other men in the world. To the spiritual man every service will yield satisfaction. He will be ever abounding in the work of the Lord; being never so happy as when employed for such a good Master, in so pleasant a service. He will not regard whether he is called to take the lead, or to keep the charge of others who are placed over him. May we seek and serve the Lord uprightly, and leave all the rest to his disposal, by faith in his word.
