Multiple commentators emphasize the significance of David's commitment to pray "in the morning." This isn't just about a time of day, but about priority. Scholars suggest it's a model for seeking God's guidance and protection at the start of each day, before facing the world's challenges. As Charles Spurgeon memorably put it, we should not see the face of man until we have seen the face of God.
