Psalm 63:5–8
My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches. For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings. My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.
Context note · editorial
The speaker remembers God during the night watches and describes that remembrance as a rich meal. Help already received becomes praise and an image of being held even while clinging to God.
