THIS verse in the 5th Psalm is more than a mere statement of the fact that in the morning I will pray. “My voice shall You hear” is an assurance given by the Holy Spirit that God will hear us when we do lift up our voice to Him.
Isaiah 50:4 He wakens morning by morning, He wakens my ear to hear.
Psalm 5 3 My voice shall You hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto You, and will look up.
Psalm 5 3 My voice shall You hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto You, and will look up.
THE Revised Version renders its, “and will keep watch.”
Q: For what would he look up and keep watch?
---Evidently for the blessings for which he prayed.
Psalm 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let them also that love your name be joyful in You.
ALTHOUGH this was written by David, it is the language of the Holy Spirit.”
