Psalms 143:8 - Exposition

Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning ; i . e . early, speedily (comp. Psalms 46:5 ; Psalms 90:14 ). For in thee do I trust. His utter trust in God gives him a claim to be beard and helped. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk ; i . e . illumine me, so that I may perceive the course which I ought to follow (comp. Psalms 5:8 , "Make thy way straight before my face"). For I lift up my soul unto thee . Again, a sort of claim seems to be urged, as in clause 2.
