A Morning Plea for Hope
Commentators highlight that the plea to hear God's lovingkindness "in the morning" is a prayer for a speedy and tangible experience of His favor. It can be taken literally as a prayer to start the day with God's assurance, or figuratively as a plea for hope to dawn after a long night of distress. It models a daily dependence on God for both comfort and direction.
