Geneva Study Bible

Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

2. Hearken-incline the ear (Ps 10:17; compare Ps 61:2)-give close attention.

my cry-that is, for help (Ps 61:2; Jer 8:19).

my King-thus by covenant relation interested in my cause.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

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.


Psalm 84:3 The bird also has found a house, And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, Even Your altars, O LORD of hosts, My King and my God.
Psalm 140:6 I said to the LORD, "You are my God; Give ear, O LORD, to the voice of my supplications. (NASB ©1995)
