5:1 [To the chief Musician upon Nehiloth, A Psalm of David.] Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my {a} meditation.
(a) That is, my vehement prayer and secret complaint and sighings.

5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will {b} look up.
(b) Or wait, with patience and trust till I am heard.

5:4 For thou [art] not a God that hath pleasure in {c} wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
(c) Seeing that God of nature hates wickedness, he must punish the wicked and save the godly.

5:5 {d} The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
(d) Who run blindly after their carnal desires.

5:7 But as for me, I {e} will come [into] thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: [and] in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
(e) In the deepest of his temptations he puts his full confidence in God.

5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness {f} because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.
(f) Because you are just, therefore lead me out of the dangers of my enemies.

5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them {g} fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.
(g) Let their devices come to nothing.

5:11 But {h} let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
(h) Your favour toward me will confirm the faith of all others.

5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour {i} wilt thou compass him as [with] a shield.
(i) So that he will be safe from all dangers.
