But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Where is God my Maker - They have no just apprehension of his being; they do not consider themselves his creatures, or that he who created them still preserves them, and would make them happy if they would pray unto him.
Who giveth songs in the night - This is variously translated.
"Before whom the high angels give praise in the night." - Chaldee.
"Who sets the night-watches." - Septuagint.
"Gives meditations in the night." - Syriac and Arabic.
"And that shyneth upon us that we might prayse him in the night." - Coverdale.
A holy soul has continual communion with God: night and day its happiness is great; and God, from whom it comes, is the continual subject of its songs of praise.
