Constantly singing my glory, striving with firm vows, bowing to me with devotion — ever disciplined, they attend upon me.

Original plain-language translation

Devotion is shown as a full-bodied practice: voice, effort, and gesture together. Firmness of vow steadies feeling into discipline. Worship here is continuous attendance, not occasional rite.
