Protection from the Wicked
[Psalms 5:1-12](../../../kjv/psalms/5/1-12)
****
The *ordering* of prayer is very necessary, [Genesis 22:9](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/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](../../../kjv/psalms/5/2) . As soon as we awake, let us speak to God. We must keep watch for the answer, [Psalms 5:3](../../../kjv/psalms/5/3) , r.v. How many answers we miss, because we get tired of waiting for the return of our ships!
Note the seven expressions for the ungodly, [Psalms 5:4-7](../../../kjv/psalms/5/4-7) . *As for me* -the chief of sinners, but see [1 Corinthians 15:10](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/10) . The Jew in prayer turned toward the Temple, [Psalms 5:7](../../../kjv/psalms/5/7) ; [Daniel 6:10](../../../kjv/daniel/6/10) . Here the Tabernacle, which preceded it, stood for the same, [1 Samuel 1:9](../../../kjv/1-samuel/1/9) . *We* look to the Most Holy Place, whither Jesus has entered, [Hebrews 10:19](../../../kjv/hebrews/10/19) .
The ungodly are specially characterized by sins of speech, [Psalms 5:9](../../../kjv/psalms/5/9) . Wicked men are like sepulchers, which exhale pestilential odors. Their doom is inevitable. Notice the combination of trust, love, and joy, [Psalms 5:11](../../../kjv/psalms/5/11) .
