O Lord, be gracious unto us; the prophet contemplating the judgment which was now coming upon God's people, directeth his prayer to God for them. Their arm; our arm or strength. The change of persons is most frequent in prophetical writings. Every morning; when we offer the morning sacrifice, and call upon thee; which yet is not meant exclusively, as if he did not desire God's help at other times; but comprehensively, the morning being put synecdochically for the whole day. The sense is, Help us speedily and continually.
