ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף תהילים 101:8

“In the heat of the day.” We have already explained above that in this sitting, the Holy One, Blessed be He, placed Abraham in judgment, saying Listen, O mountains [referring to Abraham], to God’s grievance, for there was no one seeking God in the land. And we find that most judgment of the wicked occurs in the morning, as it is said Each morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land (Psalms 101:8). And so it is said regarding the people of Sodom, The sun had risen over the land when Lot arrived at Zoar, and God rained upon Sodom. The reason for this is because we find that Abraham came to knowledge of the Blessed Name [God] through observing the sun’s path and its movement.

in the morning You shall hearken to my voice In the morning, I call out to You about them, because it is a time of judgment for the wicked, as it is stated (below 101:8): “Morning by morning will I destroy all the wicked of the land”; (Isa: 33:2), “Be their arm every morning”; (ibid. 28:19), “for every morning it shall pass.”

הבוקר היה ורוח הקדים נשא את הארבה, “when it had become morning, the easterly wind had carried the locusts.” The easterly wind brought disaster with it, whereas a westerly wind removed disaster. This is why the Torah wrote (verse 19) Hashem turned back a powerful west wind; it carried the locusts away toward the sea and spewed it out there. The reason the Torah had spoken about “it was morning,” is an allusion to the fact that usually disaster strikes the wicked in the morning. We have scriptural support for this from Psalms 101,8: “each morning I (G’d) will destroy all the wicked of the land.” When Moses predicted the disaster which would strike Korach and his fellow rebels, he said (Numbers 16,5) “in the morning G’d will make known who is His and who is holy.” We also find that the salvation of the righteous occurs in the morning such as in Exodus 34,2 where G’d told Moses to be ready in the morning to ascend the mountain and to receive the replacement of the first set of tablets which he had smashed. Isaiah 33,2 also speaks of salvation for the righteous in the morning when he writes: ”be their arm every morning, also our deliverance in time of stress.” Lamentations 3,23 also refers to G’d’s mercies being renewed every morning and His grace being ample.
