John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 5:1-12

This is a morning prayer before going to the sanctuary. The chief difficulty in ascribing it to David lies in the reference (Psalms 5:7) to ’thy holy temple.’ The word means a ’palace,’ and is not strictly applicable to the tent which David provided for the ark (2 Samuel 6:17). But it was used of the sanctuary at Shiloh. (1 Samuel 1:9), and may have been poetically transferred to David’s humbler tent; or it may be figuratively employed to denote the heavenly temple. The Psalmist appeals to God... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 5:7

(7) House . . . temple.—These words must certainly be taken literally, and not, as Hupfeld suggests, metaphorically, or in a spiritual sense with reference to Psalms 5:4. The reference to worship hardly allows the rendering palace, though the derivation of the Hebrew word permits it. No doubt either explanation is possible; but neither would have been suggested but for the title to the psalm; and it is clear (see General Introduction) that historical exactness was not regarded in affixing the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 5:8

(8) Enemies.—Literally, those watching for, or lying in wait. Aquila and Jerome both give “those lying in ambush.” God’s guidance and protection would enable the good man to avoid their snares, and to walk straight in the way of righteousness. To walk in God’s way is to walk in safety. read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:1-12THE reference to the temple in Psalms 5:7 is not conclusive against the Davidic authorship of this psalm, since the same word is applied in 1 Samuel 1:9; 1 Samuel 3:3 to the house of God in Shiloh. It means a palace, and may well be used for any structure, even if a hair tent, in which God dwelt. No doubt it is oftenest used for the Solomonic temple, but it does not necessarily refer to it. Its use here, then. cannot be urged as fatal to the correctness of the superscription. At... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:0 1.The cry to God the King (Psalms 5:1-3 ) 2. Hating iniquity and trusting in mercy (Psalms 5:4-7 ) 3. Prayer for guidance and judgment (Psalms 5:8-12 ) Psalms 5:1-3 . In the third Psalm trust is expressed in God as shield; in the fourth the prayer is to the God of righteousness. “Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King and my God.” It is a fresh and more intense prayer, because evil increaseth and abounds. The cry is to God as King. David calls Him King, as the Jewish remnant... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 1:0 True happiness is the theme of this psalm, whose author is unnamed. The negative side of true happiness is stated (Psalms 1:1 ), and then the positive (Psalms 1:2 ). Its reward follows (Psalms 1:3 ). Its nature and value are emphasized by a sharp contrast. Such a man is godly, his opposite ungodly (Psalms 1:4 ). The first is marked by stability, the second by instability (Psalms 1:4 ). The first has endless fruitfulness and blessing, the second has nothing and worse than nothing... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:0 [Note. The inscription is supposed to be suspicious. The psalm is a sign of the troublous times of the later monarchy. At the time of the composition of this psalm the adherents of Jehovah's religion were intensely disliked and universally calumniated. The literal rendering of the title is, "To the leader on the flutes." It might also be read, "To the precentor, with flute accompaniments." The word Nehiloth , means bored instruments. Some critics have derived the word from the... read more
