v. 8 – As other instances of the preposition בְּ as "figurative contact by means of mental process" (BHRG §39.6.1.b.ii), hiphil ירה can also be interpreted as "cause to pay attention to" when accompanied by בְּ,[1] rather than being accompanied by a direct object. See also 1 Sam 12:23; Ps 25:8, 12; Job 27:11, in contrast, for example, to ה֘וֹרֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה׀ דַּרְכֶּ֗ךָ (Ps 86:11).
