Psalm 143:8: Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
Lord, my sorrow makes me deaf: cause me to hear. There is but one voice that can cheer me: cause me to hear thy lovingkindness. That music I desire to hear at once—cause me to hear it in the morning, at first dawning hour. A sense of divine love is to the soul both dawn and dew; the end of the night of weeping, the beginning of the morning of joy. Our plea with the Lord is our faith: if we are relying upon him, he cannot disappoint us: in thee do I trust is a sound and solid argument with God. He who made the ear will cause us to hear; he who is love itself will bring his loving-kindness before our minds. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 1
