The reference to remembering God on the bed and meditating on God through the watches of the night articulates the continuation of worship beyond the sanctuary into the ordinary and intimate spaces of life. The night watches suggest times of sleeplessness and perhaps anxiety, which are transformed into occasions for remembering and contemplating God. The meditation on God indicates sustained attentiveness to the divine presence throughout the entire rhythm of life. This verse articulates that worship is not limited to cultic occasions but permeates all existence.
