[The Night Says:]

To relate Your lovingkindness in the morning,

and Your faithfulness in the nights.
(Tehillim 92:3)

Night symbolizes faith in G-d.  The darkness of night symbolizes exile and travail, times when we  cannot see the fulfillment of G-d's promises but our faith remains.   Our ancestors, for believing in G-d, they were found worthy of having the Divine Presence rest upon them and they chanted songs.  Our ancestors experienced this joyousness in reward for having stayed faithful to G-d in this world that resembles total night.

[The Streams Say:]

But singers as well as flutists (dancers),

all My wellsprings are in you (O Tziyon)

(Tehillim 87:7)

"All My wellsprings (thoughts) and providence "are in you" in Tziyon.  Also, "All My wellsprings (fountains)" of wisdom "are in you."  All the fountains of wisdom that I draw from, are found "in you" - in Tziyon.  "Therefore with joy will you draw water out of the wells of deliverance" (Yeshayahu 12:3).

Just as wellspring brings forth new waters every moment, so the people of Yisrael chant songs every moment.  Thus it says, "And singers and dancers, all my fountains are in You." Wellsprings bubble with fresh water all day and night. Yisrael, too, never ceases to praise G-d for His goodness and for giving us the privilige of serving Him. Our music is the wellspring embodied in Torah and good deeds.

[The Seas Say:]

More than the voices of many waters,

Mightier than the waves of the seas,

You are mighty on high, HaShem.

(Tehillim 93:4)

G-d dwells beyond human perception, in a lofty realm that is higher than man's comprehension.  However, due to the "voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea," it is made known to everyone that HaShem on high is mighty.  G-d is overwhelmingly powerful in His realm on high. Nothing on earth is more powerful than the raging sea -tidal waves and storms can wash away everything in their path. How much more powerful is He Who made them?

This is their song: "O mortal man, always remember the only true source of power."

[-MeAm Lo'Ez, Perek Shira]
