詩篇 5:2-3 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

A morning prayer. Every new day the priests began anew the service of God in the temple. The altar was set in order, the lamb was made ready, and as soon as the sign of day was given the morning sacrifice was offered (Le Psalms 6:5 ; Numbers 28:4 ). In this there was a lesson for all times. Every new day calls for a fresh consecration of ourselves to God. "When first thine eyes unveil, give thy soul leave to do the like" (Vaughan). In this morning prayer we find I. FAITH IN ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:2

Hearken unto the voice of my cry (comp. Psalms 27:7 ; Psalms 28:2 ; Psalms 64:1 ; Psalms 119:149 ; Psalms 130:2 ; Psalms 140:6 ). The Oriental habit of making requests in loud and shrill tones is the origin of these forms of speech. My King. David was "king" over Israel; but Jehovah was "King" over David (comp. Psalms 10:16 ; Psalms 29:10 ; Psalms 44:4 ; Psalms 47:6 , etc.). And my God (see Psalms 84:3 ). For auto thee will I pray. To thee, i.e; and to no other. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 5:3

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord (compare "At evening, and at morning , and at noonday will I pray, and he shall hear my voice," Psalms 55:17 ; and see also Psalms 59:16 ; Psalms 88:13 ; Psalms 119:147 ). The appointment of daily morning and evening sacrifice ( Numbers 28:4 ) pointed out morn and eve as times especially appropriate for prayer. A natural instinct suggested the same idea ( Job 1:5 ). In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee. The... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:1-12

:TitleUpon Nehiloth - The title of Psalms 4:1-8 is, “upon Neginoth.” As that refers to a musical instrument, so it is probable that this does, and that the idea here is that this psalm was intended particularly for the music-master that had special charge of this instrument, or who presided over those that played on it. Perhaps the idea is that this psalm was specially designed to be accompanied with this instrument. The word here, Nehiloth - נחילות nechı̂ylôth, plural. נחילה nechı̂ylâh,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:2

Hearken unto the voice of my cry - My cry for assistance. The word “voice” refers to the utterance of his desires, or to his “expressed” wishes in a time of trouble.My King, and my God - Though he was himself a king, yet he acknowledged his subjection to God as his supreme Ruler, and looked up to Him to protect him in his dangers, and to restore him to his rights. He was, at the same time, his God - his covenant God - to whom he felt that he was permitted to come in the hour of trouble, and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:3

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord - The voice of prayer. Compare the notes at Psalms 3:5. Probably he refers here to a general habit of praying in the morning, though he makes a particular reference to his circumstances at that time. Compare Psalms 55:17. The psalmist felt, doubtless, that while it was a general duty and privilege to call upon God with the return of each morning, there was a special reason for it in the circumstances in which he then was. See the introduction to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 5:1-2

Psalms 5:1-2. Consider my meditation That is, my prayer, as the foregoing and following words show. He calls his prayer his meditation, to signify that it was not the mere labour of his lips, but that it proceeded from, and was accompanied with, the deepest thoughts and most fervent affections of his soul. Hearken unto the voice of my cry The sincerity and earnestness of our cry to God will be in proportion to the sense we have of our sins and wants. My King It is the part and duty of a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 5:3-4

Psalms 5:3-4. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning That is, early, seasonably, in a time when thou wilt be found, and art ready to hear; or rather, every morning. As soon as I awake, I am still with thee, as he says Psalms 139:18. The first thing that I do is to pray to thee. For, or but, or surely, thou art not a God that hast pleasure in wickedness Or, in wicked men. Thou dost not approve of, or delight in them, or in their prayers; neither shall evil dwell with thee Have... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:0 Joy of the godlyIn another morning prayer David again recalls the attacks that certain enemies made on him. This leads him to consider the different attitudes God has towards the godly and the ungodly. David expects God to hear his prayers and save him from his enemies (1-3).The reason for David’s confidence is that his enemies belong to that group of people whose wickedness brings only opposition from God (4-6). By contrast, David worships God with a true heart and has a sincere... read more
