2. To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning. The day should begin with praise: no hour is too early for holy song.
We leave unpleasant tasks as long as we can, but our hearts are so engrossed
with the adoration of God that we would rise early to attend to it. And thy faithfulness every night. No hour is too late for praise; the end of the
day must not be the end of gratitude. Evening is the time for retrospect,
memory is busy with the experience of the day; hence the appropriate theme for
song is the divine faithfulness, of which another day has furnished
fresh evidences. Every night, clouded or clear, moonlit or dark, calm or
tempestuous, is alike suitable for a song upon the faithfulness of God, since
in all seasons, and under all circumstances, it abides the same, and is the
mainstay of the believer’s consolation.
