Psalm 63 : 6 - 8 [comments by Hans-Joachim Kraus for PSALMS 60 - 150, Fortress Press, 1993: Translated by Hilton C. Oswald]
"Thinking things over at night is mentioned rather frequently in the Psalter (Psalms 4:4; 16:7; 119:55). We may assume that the psalmist also at night abides in the sanctuary's area of protection and asylum (verses 2, 7). From verse 7 we learn that the persecuted individual knows that he is sheltered by Yahweh. He is in the protective area that is symbolized by the wings of the cherubim. Verse 8 speaks of the constant trust in Yahweh. The psalmist "clung" to Yahweh. He held on to him and was held by Yahweh's hand (Ps. 73:23; Isaiah 42:6)" (page 20).
