Psalms 13:3. Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
When it is dark, very dark, we get drowsy. Sorrow induces sleep. Remember how the Saviour found the disciples sleeping for sorrow. Therefore David asks for light. Light will help him to keep awake, and he fears to sleep, so he prays, "Lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death."
