The intensity of the psalmists’ emotions is always surprising. Heaven knows what some of them must have endured. Even their joy seems to shine through tears. This individual lament, followed by thanksgiving, resembles the previous psalm and many others in form and content. However, there is more triumphant joy at the end. The ‘morning’ in the psalm often symbolizes the beginning of new hope. The psalmist is awake, shouting so loudly that personified Dawn, relief, must come. The psalmist’s prayer in verse 4, ‘may he send from heaven a savior…” is answered. God did send us Jesus Christ as our Savior. So, we have much to thank God for and to exalt his Holy Name! In fact, in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4, Jesus teaches us how to pray so we can thank God and make his Glory fill the earth. This psalm could be the prayer of someone who waits with complete trust for calamities to end. The glory of the Most High fills the earth.
