Psalms 119:55

I remember your name, Lord (Yahweh), during the night,
and hold fast to (protect, watch over) your teaching (Torah).
[The psalmist remembers God's name. A name is more than just a few letters. Unlike a title, a name describes the whole person with all that they are. The night can literally refer to times of unrest with sleepless nights when thoughts are racing. Night can also figuratively refer to dark periods in life. There are many different words for difficulties, both figurative and concrete. Another word is straits, which literally means a "narrow passage," see Ps. 118:5. It is one thing to know the extent of a problem and struggle through a narrow passage, but in the night it is difficult to even know the direction, unknown dangers may lurk, and the way forward is not clear. In the midst of this dark chaos, the psalmist clings to the Torah. The word Torah comes from the verb jarah, which means to throw (like an arrow) or to shoot something away. Torah shows a direction and provides guidance. God's word is also a lamp, see Ps. 119:105.]
