Psalms 5:1-2

Consider my meditation That is, my prayer, as the foregoing and following words show. He calls his prayer his meditation, to signify that it was not the mere labour of his lips, but that it proceeded from, and was accompanied with, the deepest thoughts and most fervent affections of his soul. Hearken unto the voice of my cry The sincerity and earnestness of our cry to God will be in proportion to the sense we have of our sins and wants. My King It is the part and duty of a king to answer the just and humble desires of his subjects; and my God: for unto thee will I pray To thee alone will I direct all my prayers, for to whom should a sinner pray but to his God? and therefore, from thee alone I expect succour and relief.
