There was a kind of concord and harmony in their singing; they sang, as I may say, with one consent, or in consort. Some translate They sang alone; That is, when there were no other creatures to j•yn with them, yet as soon as they were in being they sang alone. The word sometimes signifies only, as well as together (chap 34.29. Ezra 4.3.) They did not sing every one of them alone, but they all sang alone without any other creatures to join with them. Thus they sang both alone and together.

Thus they sang both alone and together.
Hence Note, First; Singing is an act of divine worship and praise.
They sang to the glory of God.
