Psalms 5:2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry,-
"When I have not confidence or comfort enough to present a well-ordered prayer to thee; but, like a child in pain, cry unto thee, ‘Hearken unto the voice of my cry,’"-
Psalms 5:2. My King, and my God:
What! will a king hearken to a cry? Men generally prepare elaborate petitions when they come into the presence of royalty; but, although the Lord is far greater than all earthly sovereigns, he is far more condescending than they are.
Psalms 5:2. For unto the will I pray.
I trust that we all pray; I am sure that all believers do; but let us pray more, let us pray much more than we have done and let us each one truly say to the Lord, " Unto thee will I pray." He is a King, so serve him with your prayers. He is God, so adore him with your prayers, and if you can put both your hands on him, and say, as David did, " My King, and my God," what abundant motives you have for abounding in prayer to him
