SEV Biblia, Chapter 57:8

Despierta, oh gloria mía; despierta, salterio y arpa; me levantaré de mañana.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 56:8

Verse 8.
Awake up, my glory ] Instead of ydwbk kebodi, "my glory," one MS., and the Syriac, have yrwnk kinnori, "my harp." Dr. Kennicott reads yrwbk kebori, which he supposes to be some instrument of music; and adds that the instrument used in church-music by the Ethiopians is now called rbk kaber. I think the Syriac likely to be the true reading: "Awake up, my harp; awake, psaltery and harp: I will awake early." Such repetitions are frequent in the Hebrew poets. If we read my glory, it may refer either to his tongue; or, which is more likely, to his skill in composition, and in playing on differentt instruments. The five last verses of this Psalm are nearly the same with the five first verses of Psa. cviii.

The reason of this may be, the notes or memoranda from the psalmist's diary were probably, through mistake, twice copied. The insertion at the beginning of the cviiith Psalm seems to bear no relation to the rest of that ode.

Rabbi Solomon Jarchi tells us that David had a harp at his bed's head, which played of itself when the north wind blew on it; and then David arose to give praise to God. This account has been treated as a ridiculous fable by grave Christian writers. I would however hesitate, and ask one question: Does not the account itself point out an instrument then well known, similar to the comparatively lately discovered AEolian harp? Was not this the instrument hung at David's bed's head, which, when the night breeze (which probably blew at a certain time) began to act upon the cords, sent forth those dulcet, those heavenly sounds, for which the AEolian harp is remarkable? "Awake, my harp, at the due time: I will not wait for thee now, I have the strongest cause for gratitude; I will awake earlier than usual to sing the praises of my God."


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 7-11 - By lively faith, David's prayers and complaints are at once turned int praises. His heart is fixed; it is prepared for every event, being stayed upon God. If by the grace of God we are brought into this even composed frame of mind, we have great reason to be thankful. Nothing is done to purpose, in religion, unless it is done with the heart. The heart must be fixed for the duty, put in frame for it; fixed in the duty by close attention. Our tongue is our glory, and never more s than when praising God; dull and sleepy devotions will never be acceptable to God. Let us awake early in the morning, to begin the da with God; early in the beginning of a mercy. When God comes toward u with his favours, let us go forth to meet him with our praises. Davi desired to bring others to join in praising God; and in his psalms, he is still praising God among the people, singing to Him among the nations. Let us seek to have our hearts fixed to praise his boundles mercy and unfailing faithfulness; and to glorify him with body, soul and spirit, which are his. Let us earnestly pray that the blessings of the gospel may be sent through every land __________________________________________________________________
