Commentators emphasize that this verse describes a sacred duty for every generation. Charles Spurgeon calls it a 'hallowed tradition' and a 'precious legacy.' The praise of God is not meant to die with us; it is a 'flaming torch' that we are responsible for passing on by actively teaching and training the next generation to continue the song of worship.
