“By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.” Psalm 42:8
===
The Psalm is attributed to the Sons of Korah. Moses' cousin, Korah, led a rebellion against Moses but was consumed by hell fire, among 250 conspirators. But his sons survived, not being part of the conspiracy. In later generations, Korahites were temple workers. Via wikipedia
"The psalm is a regular part of Jewish, Catholic, Anglican and Protestant liturgies. It is As pants the hart in the metrical version by Tate and Brady (1696). It has been set to music often, notably in Handel's As pants the hart and Mendelssohn's Psalm 42."
