Night Seasons

(1/1)

HoneyLamb56:
Psalm 16:7  "I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.   Does David mean "darkness"?

Dave in Tenn:
Almost all my translations have simply "night", and some seem to be saying "when night comes" or similar.

(DRB)  I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: moreover, my reins (deepest thoughts) also have corrected me even till night.

(CLV)  I shall bless Yahweh Who has counseled me; Indeed, in the nights my innermost being has admonished me."

(Brenton)  I will bless the Lord who has instructed me; my reins too have chastened me even till night.

"Night seasons" is a translation of one Hebrew word:

 H3915
לילה    ליל    ליל
layil  lêyl  layelâh
lah'-yil, lale, lah'-yel-aw
From the same as H3883; properly a twist (away of the light), that is, night; figuratively adversity: - ([mid-]) night (season).

Why?
