Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
Cause me to hear thy loving-kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust - cause me to know it by actually delivering me. So 'make me to hear joy,' etc. - i:e., to know it by experience (Psalms 51:8). "In the morning" is figurative for speedily, seasonably, and maturely. The morning is associated with salvation, as the favourable season for granting it (Psalms 59:16; Psalms 46:5, margin; 90:14; 23:4).
Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee (Psalms 25:1-2; Psalms 86:4) - "the way wherein I should walk" in order to escape from my persecutors, who "privily lay a snare for me in my way" (Psalms 142:3). "Thou knowest my path," though I know not the right way (Psalms 5:8; Psalms 25:4-5).
