Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 147. - I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried (comp. ver. 62). Evening, morning, and noonday were the three usual times of prayer (Psalm 55:17). The writer could not wait for morning. Either he woke up to pray at midnight, or at any rate he anticipated the dawn, and began his morning prayer while it was still dark. I hoped in thy Word. Hope was so strong in him that it did not suffer him to rest.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersKOPH.(147) Prevented.--See Psalm 18:5; Psalm 79:8. The Authorised Version gives the sense, I was up before the morning.Dawning of the morning.--The Hebrew word means literally "breath," and is used of the fresh breeze that blows both at sunset (Job 24:15; Proverbs 7:9) and sunrise (Job 7:4). Generally in our version rendered "twilight." . . .
