Psalm 42:8 · KJV

"Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁶O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.

⁷Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

⁸Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.

⁹I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

¹⁰As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHope

I've always been a music fan. Songs still help me get to the part of me that's most open to God. They help me tell Him how much I love and praise Him. As the psalmist says, His song is with me at night, especially on nights when I can't sleep.

Prayer

Thank you, God of my life, for music and song. I appreciate you providing me with so many reasons to sing joyfully. I am grateful that when I sing, you hear my heart as well as my words and the song's melody. I long to join the heavenly chorus around your throne and to hear you sing, dear Father. Fill my life with your song until then. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Thank you, God of my life, for music and song. Thank you for giving me so much to be happy about and to sing about. Thank you for hearing what's in my heart when I sing, not just the words and tune. Dear Father, I can't wait for the day when I can hear you sing and join the angels singing around your throne. Fill my life with your song until then. In the name of Jesus, I ask. Amen.
