1 Chronicles 16:37-43 King James Version (KJV)
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
1 Chronicles 16:37-43 Common English Bible (CEB)
37 Then David placed Asaph and his relatives, together with Obed-edom and sixty-eight of his relatives, to minister there continually before the chest containing the LORD’s covenant, following the routines required on each day. 38 Obed-edom, Jeduthun’s son, and Hosah served as gatekeepers. 39 David also placed the priest Zadok and his other priestly relatives at the LORD’s dwelling at the shrine in Gibeon. 40 They were to offer continually, both morning and evening, entirely burned offerings to the LORD on the altar for entirely burned offerings, following the written requirements in the LORD’s Instruction, which he had given Israel. 41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun and the rest of those chosen by name to give thanks to the LORD, because his faithful love lasts forever. 42 With them were also the trumpets and the cymbals for the musicians and the instruments for God’s songs. Jeduthun’s family was at the gate. 43 Then all of the people left for their homes. And David returned to bless his household.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
37-38 The ark represented God, so they were symbolically worshiping in front of God. The ministering before the ark was the job for the Lord no matter what our job is we should do it to the best of our ability.
39 We need to have the high place that we go to draw close to God, this is not a substitute for fellowshipping with other Christians.
40 We should give to God all the time never settle to give Him the leftovers but the best. We are to follow God’s instructions which will never against His word.
41 Praise is very important and His name is the only one that deserves praise. Today we all are allowed to give Him praise but at this time the men were chosen from the priests.
42 Music can be used to praise the Lord but often times today it is used for rebellion against the Lord. Praise was something that the Lord wants us to give Him, this does not mean by praising Him we could pay Him back for what He has done for us because He made sure the debt was paid, it was paid by the blood of Jesus, a price we can not pay back but is worth giving Him all our praise.
43 We should not let worship be something we go to but be something changes us and be something that goes with us.
