Psalms 5:2

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

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.
