Psalm 5 - Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 5.

Meditate on verse 3.

In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice;

 in the morning, I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

David had an intimate relationship with the LORD, so he talked to God and confidently waited for His response to troubling issues.

As you read through Psalms, you may want to make a list of what you learn about God. Knowing God increases your faith and makes you like David, able to talk to Him about everything.

Notice God’s attitude toward wickedness in Psalm 5:4-6:

1.     God does not take pleasure in wickedness.

2.     No evil dwells with the LORD.

3.     The boastful will not stand before God’s eyes.

4.     The LORD hates all who do iniquity.

5.     God destroys those who speak falsehood.

6.     The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.

Do any of these attributes and actions of God surprise you? What is your response to Him? Notice how David responded—he came into God’s presence and bowed in reverence to Him (v. 7). He knew God hated evil, so David asked the LORD to lead him in righteousness (v. 8).

Pray Psalm 5:11-12 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, ________ and I take refuge in You; let us be glad.

Let us ever sing for joy.  Shelter us, LORD! 

We love Your name; may we exult in You.

You bless the righteous person, O LORD.

Surround us with Your favor as with a shield.

In Your name, Jesus~”
