Psalm 6 –><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 5 begins with an urgent lament to God. The king prays and lays out his requests before the LORD, waiting expectantly for an answer. He waits with confidence because he knows that God hates wickedness and evil people (v4-6) and that he has access to the LORD house because of God’s love for him (v7). Serving in his office as king, he further asks to be led in a straight way (v8) so that he might be the righteous man of Psalm 1. In this regard he asks the LORD to banish those who do evil (v9-10) and exhorts all of God’s people to take refuge in God and be glad because they come under the protection and blessing of God’s king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Romans 3:13, Paul cites Psalm 5:9b to confirm that all human beings are by nature prone to evil. This is our default position, enemies of God and not his friends, we are those who have broken his law. Our only hope for protection from God’s wrath is to be reconciled to his King Jesus Christ and it is in him that we take refuge, trusting that his perfect obedience can be imputed to us for our salvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
