Commentary on Nehemiah 11:172 voices
To begin - In the publick and solemn prayers and praises, which were constantly joined with the morning and evening sacrifice, at which the singers were present, and praised God with a psalm or hymn which, this man began.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Observe, Thanksgiving is necessary in prayer; they should go together; giving thanks for former mercies is a becoming way of begging further mercies. And care should be taken in public service that every thing be done in the best manner, decently and in good order-- in prayer, that one speak and the rest join--in singing, that one begin and the rest follow.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
