Key & Lock of Psalm 5:1-3

"The titles “my King” and “my God” (verse 2), are rich with meaning: David, through a king himself, is subject to another; and the Creator-God who made him is his personal God.

Psalm 5 is to be celebrated in community worship with flute accompaniment...

Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. vs.1
There are two sorts of prayers—those expressed in words, and the

unuttered longings which abide as silent meditations.
Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. vs.2
Weeping has a voice—a melting, plaintive tone, an ear-piercing shrillness, which reaches the very heart of God; and crying hath a voice—a soul-moving eloquence; coming from our heart it reaches God's heart.....Observe the order and force of the words,
-"my cry,"
-"the voice of my prayer;" and also,
-"give ear,"
-"consider,"
-"hearken."
These expressions all evince the urgency and energy of David's feelings and petitions.
*First we have, "give ear;" that is, hear me.
*But it is of little service for the words to be heard, unless the "cry," or the roaring, or the meditation, be considered.
My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up. vs.3
"In the morning."

--This is the fittest time for intercourse with God.

--An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.

--While the dew is on the grass, let grace drop upon the soul.

Prayer should be 

the key of the day 

and the lock of the night."
