Psalms 143:8

Cause me to hear&c. Possibly we should change a letter, and read as in Psalms 90:14 satisfy me (הַשְׂכּיצֵנִי for הַשְׂמִיעֵנִי).

in the morning Let the dawn speedily end this dark night of calamity, and bring the sunshine of Thy lovingkindness to gladden my weary heart. Cp. Psalms 30:5; Psalms 49:14.

for in thee do I trust … for I lift up my soul unto thee Cp. Psalms 25:2; Psalms 25:1.

cause me to know&c. Teach me how to avoid the dangers which beset me (Psalms 142:3), and to order my conduct according to Thy Will (1 Thessalonians 4:1). Cp. Psalms 25:4; Psalms 32:8; Exodus 33:13.
