Theological / Devotional

Prevent. Or, “precede” (see on v. 147). The night was commonly divided into three watches (Lam. 2:19; see on Judges 7:19; 1 Sam. 11:11). The psalmist likens himself to one listed for duty during these night watches. Before the time of his appointment he is awake and meditating upon God’s Word.
