SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:10
Y los albañiles del templo del SEÑOR echaron los cimientos; y pusieron a los sacerdotes vestidos de sus ropas , con trompetas, y a los levitas hijos de Asaf con címbalos, para que alabasen al SEÑOR, según la ordenanza de David rey de Israel.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Ezra 3:10
Verse 10. After the ordinance of David] With psalms which he composed, acting in the manner which he directed.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord , etc.] The masons, whose work it was, ( Ezra 3:7) they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets ; these were set in a proper place by the prince and the high priest, in their priestly garments, with trumpets in their hands to blow with, as the foundation was laying: and the Levites the sons of Asaph, with cymbals to praise the Lord, after the ordinance of David king of Israel ; these were instruments of brass, and made a tinkling sound, and were by the order of David; and the persons that made use of them; and the songs of praise they were played upon unto; all by his appointment, as well as harps and psalteries, which might now be used, though not expressed; (see 1 Chronicles 15:16 25:1).

Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - There was a remarkable mixture of affections upon laying the foundatio of the temple. Those that only knew the misery of having no temple a all, praised the Lord with shouts of joy. To them, even this foundatio seemed great. We ought to be thankful for the beginnings of mercy though it be not yet perfect. But those who remembered the glory of the first temple, and considered how far inferior this was likely to be wept with a loud voice. There was reason for it, and if they bewaile the sin that was the cause of this melancholy change, they did well Yet it was wrong to cast a damp upon the common joys. They despised the day of small things, and were unthankful for the good they enjoyed. Le not the remembrance of former afflictions drown the sense of presen mercies __________________________________________________________________
