Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early… 1. Early, in the morning of life, which is the most proper season for this employment, your faculties being then most active and vigorous. 2. Early, in preference to all other objects which solicit your attention, seeking first, and above all things, the kingdom of God and His righteousness. 3. Early, in every day of life, after you are refreshed with rest; before you engage in company, in business, or amusement; determined, with the man according to God's own heart, that your voice the Lord shall hear in the morning. (R. Macculloch.) Parallel Verses KJV: With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. |
