David in prayer fleeing unto God, complains of his dangerous case7. He encourages himself to praise God Awake, my glory! This phrase reflects a call to the psalmist's own soul or spirit, often understood as the innermost being or essence. The term "glory" can be seen as a reference to the soul's capacity to reflect God's glory. In biblical context, the soul is often called to awaken to praise and worship God, as seen in Psalm 108:1. The call to awaken suggests a renewal or revival, aligning with themes of spiritual awakening found throughout Scripture. Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. Persons / Places / Events 1. DavidThe author of this psalm, David is in a time of distress, likely hiding from King Saul. He is known for his deep relationship with God and his skill in music and poetry. 2. Harp and Lyre These are musical instruments used in ancient Israelite worship. They symbolize praise and worship, often associated with David's own musical talents. 3. The Dawn Represents a new beginning or a fresh start. In this context, it symbolizes hope and renewal through worship and praise. Teaching Points Awakening the SoulJust as David calls his soul to awaken, we must actively engage our hearts and minds in worship, especially during times of trouble. The Power of Music in Worship Music is a powerful tool for worship and can help lift our spirits and focus our hearts on God. Consider incorporating music into your daily devotional time. Starting the Day with Praise Beginning each day with praise sets a positive tone and aligns our hearts with God's purposes. Make it a habit to start your day with a song or a prayer of thanksgiving. Hope and Renewal The dawn represents new beginnings. No matter the challenges we face, God's mercies are new every morning, offering us hope and renewal. Active Participation in Worship Worship is not passive. Like David, we should actively participate, using our talents and resources to glorify God.(8) My glory.--See Note, Psalm 7:5.
