Psalms 5:2 - Exposition

Hearken unto the voice of my cry (comp. Psalms 27:7 ; Psalms 28:2 ; Psalms 64:1 ; Psalms 119:149 ; Psalms 130:2 ; Psalms 140:6 ). The Oriental habit of making requests in loud and shrill tones is the origin of these forms of speech. My King. David was "king" over Israel; but Jehovah was "King" over David (comp. Psalms 10:16 ; Psalms 29:10 ; Psalms 44:4 ; Psalms 47:6 , etc.). And my God (see Psalms 84:3 ). For auto thee will I pray. To thee, i.e; and to no other.
