Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
Psalm 108:2 stands among Psalms 105 to 110 as part of praise joined to a plea for victory. It is a call for the soul itself to awake in joyful songs. Its awakening is for singing the praise of its great Redeemer.
The verse teaches that the day is to be begun early with prayer and praise. It means waking early to meet God. The first victory of the day is to be won in prayer, and the dawn of the day is to be spent with Him on the mount. The morning is the time when health is established and wealth is won, and such a beginning makes the day successful and holy.
