Salmi 119:55 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 119:55

I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night
In the night of distress and affliction, as Jarchi; or rather literally, in the night season, when on his bed and awake: while others were asleep, he revolved in his mind the greatness of the divine Being; the perfections of his nature; his wonderful works of creation, providence, and grace; his word and ordinances, by which he was made known unto the sons of men; and these he called to mind and meditated upon in the night watches, to encourage his faith and hope in the Lord, and draw out his love and affection to him; and have kept thy law:
though imperfectly, yet spiritually, sincerely, heartily, and from a principle of love and gratitude, and with a view to the glory of God, and without mercenary and sinister ends.

Salmi 119:55 In-Context

53 Un’ira ardente mi prende a motivo degli empi, che abbandonano la tua legge.

54 I tuoi statuti sono i miei cantici, nella casa del mio pellegrinaggio.

55 Io mi ricordo la notte del tuo nome, o Eterno, e osservo la tua legge.

56 Questo bene mi è toccato, di osservare i tuoi precetti.

57 L’Eterno è la mia parte; ho promesso d’osservare le tue parole.
