Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - Yet the Lord will command his loving-kindness in the daytime. Notwithstanding all these present woes, God wilt at some time "command" his loving-kindness to make itself apparent (comp. Psalm 44:4; Psalm 68:28), and both "in the daytime" and in the night will so comfort me that his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life; i.e. I shall offer him both praise and prayer continually both day and night (Psalm 92:2) for his great mercies.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Yet the Lord.--Better, By day Jehovah shall command (or, literally, Jehovah command) his grace.And in the night his song--i.e., a song to Him; but the emendation shirah, "song," for shiroh, "his song," commends itself. The parallelism of this verse seems to confirm the conclusion drawn from the sentence at end of Book II., that the title "prayer," and "song" were used indiscriminately for any of the hymns in religious use.
