Psa 119:62 | MHM | STEP | Thanking God at Midnight This section teaches us about the importance of giving thanks to God, not just asking for things in prayer. David shows that it is good to thank God for His wise and fair actions, even when we do not see rewards for ourselves. He also teaches us to be eager and ready to thank God at any time, even in the middle of the night. Private worship is important, and we should not wait to give God praise when our hearts feel grateful. v. 62 : David says, At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments . He did not only thank God for good things he received, but also for God's fair and wise decisions in the world. David was so thankful that he would get up from his bed at midnight to praise God, even when others were sleeping. He did this privately, not to be seen by people, but to honor God. David had worshipped God in public, but he knew it was important to worship Him in secret too (Matthew 6:6 ). He did not wait until later, but gave thanks as soon as he felt grateful. David even got out of bed in the dark and cold to show his respect. He used his time well, praying and giving thanks when he could not sleep.

He did not only thank God for good things he received, but also for God's fair and wise decisions in the world. David was so thankful that he would get up from his bed at midnight to praise God, even when others were sleeping. He did this privately, not to be seen by people, but to honor God. David had worshipped God in public, but he knew it was important to worship Him in secret too (Matthew 6:6 ^a). He did not wait until later, but gave thanks as soon as he felt grateful.
