The nature and glory of the church4. The increase, honor, and comfort of the members thereof. Singers and pipers This phrase evokes a vivid image of celebration and worship. In the Hebrew context, "singers" (Hebrew: שָׁרִים, sharim) and "pipers" (Hebrew: חָלִילִים, chalilim) were integral to temple worship and communal celebrations. The use of music in worship is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, as seen in the temple services led by the Levites. Historically, music was a means to express joy, gratitude, and reverence to God. The inclusion of both singers and pipers suggests a harmonious and comprehensive expression of worship, where both vocal and instrumental music unite to glorify God. This reflects the holistic nature of worship, engaging both the heart and the mind, and underscores the importance of music in spiritual life. will say All my springs of joy are in You "And singers as trumpeters All my springs in Thee, which we may paraphrase, keeping in the same line with the rest of the psalm, For such an one (celebrating his birthday, Genesis 40:20, Matthew 14:6) the singers and musicians will sing (to Zion), "All my offspring is in Thee."

The psalmist intends to represent the converted nations as coming in a grand procession, with songs and dances, to celebrate their admission to Zion, and there one and all exclaiming, All my fresh springs - i.e. "all my sources of life, and joy, and happiness" - are in thee. The verse is possibly but "fragment," as Professor Cheyne supposes.
