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. Nkjv.
Different people hear different things first thing in the morning. For some it's the TV, for others it may be the radio, children asking where their socks are, or many other demands being made.
The Psalmist cries out to God though for something very different. He wants to hear God's unfailing love each morning before he ever goes out the door or even before he puts his foot to the floor. He acknowledges to God that he doesn't have all the answers for the day ahead so he wants to be sure God is going to guide him to make the right decisions and say the right things.
On top of all that in the New Living Translation David says 'for I give myself to you'.
David has learnt a thing or two during his experiences with God and part of what he's learned is the importance of getting his priorities right first thing in the morning.
