- Seven times:
- That is, probably many times, or frequently, as the term seven frequently denotes; but Rabbi Solomon says that this is to be understood literally; for they praised God twice in the morning before reading the decalogue, and once after; twice in the evening before the same reading, and twice after; making in the whole seven times. "At midnightªª I will riseª° to give thanksª° unto thee because of¹ thy righteousª judgments.ª" {Psa 119:62} + "Evening,ª and morning,ª and at noon,ª will I pray,ª° and cry aloud:ª° and he shall hearª° my voice.ª" {Psa 55:17}
