How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 5, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“David prayed often alone, yet was very constant in attendance on public worship. The mercy of God should ever be the foundation both of our hope and of our joy, in every thing wherein we have to do with him. Let us learn to pray, not for ourselves only, but for others; grace be with all that love Christ in sincerity. The Divine blessing comes down upon us through Jesus Christ, the righteous or just One, as of old it did upon Israel through David, whom God protected, and placed upon the throne. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 5:7–30 (Public Domain)
