3 In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
3 O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you
3 Every morning you'll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend.
3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up.
3 Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord . Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 5:3
Commentary on Psalm 5:1-6
(Read Psalm 5:1-6)
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 sincerity, in all the affairs of life. Liars and murderers resemble the devil, and are his children, therefore it may well be expected that God should abhor them. These were the characters of David's enemies; and such as these are still the enemies of Christ and his people.
