Commentary on Psalms 57:8

Theological / Devotional

Psaltery. Heb. nebel, the “harp” (see pp. 33, 34).

Harp. Heb. kinnor, the “lyre” (see pp. 34–36).

I myself will awake early. Or, “I will wake up the dawn.” The psalmist recognized the value of devoting the first moments of the day to worship (see on Ps. 5:3). Compare Milton’s line: “Cheerly rouse the slumbering morn.”
