Remember Your Past Songs
Commentators explain that the "song in the night" refers to past moments when God provided comfort and joy, even in darkness. The psalmist intentionally recalls these memories as a spiritual discipline. As one scholar suggests, looking back at God's past faithfulness can help propel you forward through present troubles, much like pushing a barge backward to move it forward.
