Harps and lyres were common instruments used in temple worship and personal devotion. The call to "awake" suggests a readiness and eagerness to praise God, emphasizing the importance of music in expressing devotion and stirring the soul. This aligns with other Psalms that highlight the use of instruments in worship, such as <a href="/psalms/150.htm">Psalm 150</a>. The use of instruments can also be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate source of joy and praise, fulfilling the role of the true worship leader.<p><b>I will awaken the dawn.</b><br>This phrase indicates a commitment to early morning worship, symbolizing the priority of God in the psalmist's life. The act of awakening the dawn suggests a proactive approach to seeking God, setting the tone for the day with praise and thanksgiving. This reflects the biblical theme of seeking God early, as seen in <a href="/psalms/63.htm">Psalm 63:1</a>. Historically, the dawn was a significant time for prayer and reflection in Jewish tradition, marking the beginning of a new day and new mercies. The imagery of light overcoming darkness can also be seen as a metaphor for Christ, the Light of the World, who brings spiritual awakening and renewal.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/108.htm">Psalm 108</a>, King David, is known for his musical talent and deep devotion to God.
