It took me about 16 minutes to read this passage. All of chapter 9 is a prayer of praise and repentence. The Levites led the people in coming to God with this prayer. Its not clear to me whether is was sung or recited. Whether the people listed or joined in. But it is a wonderful prayer that recognized how faithful God has always been to the people of his covenant. He was faithful even when Israel repeatedly rejected him. That is a reassuring message to the church as a whole, but also to the individual Christian.
