Vs. 148 — My eyes are awake through the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.

Hengstenberg:

” ‘Mine eyes prevent the night watches.’ …the expression means, The night watches find me awake.” (Alexander, W. H. (1867). The Book of Praises: Being the Book of Psalms, according to the Authorized Version, with Notes Original and Selected (p. 413). London: Jackson, Walford, and Hodder.)

Prayer:

My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word. When my heart is anxious and will not rest, when my soul is troubled, cause me to think on You and what You have spoken in Your word. Help me to remember in the night watches what You have shown me in the daylight, that I may rest with hope. Take my mind to the place of refuge, which is in Your promises, to find comfort and peace.
