The psalmist tells us that he remember\u2019s God\u2019s name at night. Night prayer \u2026 a common idea in the Bible is set prayers at set times.
\nPsalm 55:18 \u2014 in the evening, in the morning, and at noonday, I will complain and lament.
\nPsalm 119:164 \u2014 seven times a day.
\nActs 3:1, etc.
\nPrayer in the world of ancient Israel involved setting set times for set prayers \u2014 that\u2019s why we have the Psalms. They faced Jerusalem, said their prayers, and then let that kind of prayer structure the day. In our psalm today, at 119:55, the psalmist announces that in his night prayers he remembers the name of God.
\nRemembering God\u2019s name \u2014 as God remembers his promise (119:49) \u2014 involves invoking the God who reveals his name (YHWH), who promises to be for them all that Israel needs (Ex. 3:14), and who has entered into covenant obligation with Israel (Gen 12; 15; Exod 19-24; 2 Sam 7).
\nFor the psalmist to \u201cremember God\u2019s name\u201d is to remind God of God\u2019s obligations to deliver and to glorify that name through salvation.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
