Commentary on Psalms 108:2

Theological / Devotional

Awake, psaltery. The sweet singer of Israel is not satisfied to use his voice alone; he calls for musical instruments to accompany him in his songs of praise. Those with musical talent have the privilege and duty of using that gift to glorify the Giver.

Awake early. The early hours of the morning spent in private devotion provide strength for the day’s duties and a safeguard against temptation. The Saviour often rose to pray a great while before day (see on Mark 3:13).
