Psalm 5:11

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:0 This Psalm is peculiar in setting forth the characteristics of prayer in general. I. In the first and second verses we have a suggestion of the variety of prayer. (1) "Give ear to my words " formal prayer; (2) "Consider my meditation " unexpressed prayer; (3) "Hearken unto my cry " ejaculatory prayer. II.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 5:1-12

Psalms 5:6 . Leasing; a Gothic and primitive word equivalent to falsehood. They professed loyalty to the king, but were traitors in heart, as in Psalms 5:9. Psalms 5:9 . Their throat is an open sepulchre, emitting a noxious effluvia. Psalms 5:10 . Destroy them; for by the rebellion their lives and lands were forfeited. REFLECTIONS.

Psalms 5:1-12Give ear to my words, O Lord. The inward and outward sides of the Divine lifeThe Psalm falls into two main parts-- Psalms 5:1-7, and Psalms 5:8-12. The inward comes first; for communion with God in the secret place of the Most High must precede all walking in His way, and all blessed experience of His protection, with the joy that springs from it. The Psalm is a prayerful meditation on the inexhaustible theme of the contrasted blessedness of the righteous, and misery of the sinner,... read more
