Psalm 5:2

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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 5:1-2

If we consider the Lord Jesus in these addresses as the representative of his church and people, we not only heighten the several expressions made use of, but raise also our confidence, when coming to the mercy seat with similar petitions in him and through him. The covenant relations Christ here adverts to, by way of strengthening his claims, are very precious when adopted by his people also. And what an unquestionable authority we go upon; when we look up to Jehovah in his name, who said... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:2

Cry. Hebrew, "meditation." (Menochius) --- The cry of the heart, (St. Chrysostom) and "the groans," which the spirit forms within us, Romans viii. 26. God cannot reject such prayers. If he seems inattentive, it is because we ask amiss, James iv. 3. (Calmet) --- He attends to the prayers of the Church, and of every faithful soul, (Worthington) and even exhorts sinners to come to him, that they may emerge from the abyss. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 5:1-6

1-6 God is a prayer-hearing God. Such he has always been, and he is still as ready to hear prayer as ever. The most encouraging principle of prayer, and the most powerful plea in prayer, is, to look upon him as our King and our God. David also prays to a sin-hating God. sin is folly, and sinners are the greatest of all fools; fools of their own making. Wicked people hate God; justly are they hated of him, and this will be their endless misery and ruin. Let us learn the importance of truth and... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

Protection from the Wicked Psalms 5:1-12 The ordering of prayer is very necessary, Genesis 22:9 . Our Lord’s prayer should be our model. Often our words need to be supplemented by our meditations; that is, we must make room for the “groanings which cannot be uttered,” but which the Spirit understands, Romans 8:26-27 . Distinct from either of these is the urgent ejaculation for aid which is here described as the voice of my cry, Psalms 5:2 . As soon as we awake, let us speak to God. We... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 5:1-12

This is another song of the morning. It opens with language which reveals the reason of the soul's assurance as it faces another day. First are petitions asking the attention of Jehovah. These are followed by words which reveal at once the singer's conception of personal responsibility, and the reason of his confidence in God. As to the former, the day is to be begun in prayer. O Jehovah, in the morning shalt Thou hear my voice. It is moreover, to be arranged as in the sight of God, In the... read more
