Secondly, Take night properly; and then this assertion, He giveth songs in the night, may have this meaning; The Lord gives his people a praising frame of heart in the night season! 1When they are wrapped up and compassed about with outward darkness, when they are solitary and alone, when no worldly object holds out any occasion of comfort to them, yet then the Lord lets in a light, or shines into their s•uls by his good Spirit. The Lord may well be said to give songs even in the night, when by the immediate work of his Spirit, he filleth our spirits with joys unspeakable and glorious. These a•e the most ravishing songs of the night.
