“Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.”
Awake, O harp and lyre! I myself will awake the dawn. The instruments and the psalmist together are called to wakefulness, suggesting a predawn awakening to praise. The parallel command to 'awake the dawn' suggests that the psalmist's praise precedes and summons the sunrise itself. This verse portrays the speaker as aligned with creation's rhythms, beginning the day with praise.
