Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
prevented—literally, "came before," anticipated not only the dawn, but even the usual periods of the night; when the night watches, which might be expected to find me asleep, come, they find me awake (Psalms 63:6; Psalms 77:4; Lamentations 2:19). Such is the earnestness of the desire and love for God's truth.
KOPH. (Psalms 119:145-152).
An intelligent devotion is led by divine promises and is directed to an increase of gracious affections, arising from a contemplation of revealed truth.
