7 But I, by your great love, can come into your house; in reverence I bow down toward your holy temple.
7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy
7 But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house. I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.
7 And here I am, your invited guest - it's incredible! I enter your house; here I am, prostrate in your inner sanctum,
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy; In fear of You I will worship toward Your holy temple.
7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 5:7
Commentary on Psalm 5:7-12
(Read Psalm 5:7-12)
David prayed often alone, yet was very constant in attendance on public worship. The mercy of God should ever be the foundation both of our hope and of our joy, in every thing wherein we have to do with him. Let us learn to pray, not for ourselves only, but for others; grace be with all that love Christ in sincerity. The Divine blessing comes down upon us through Jesus Christ, the righteous or just One, as of old it did upon Israel through David, whom God protected, and placed upon the throne. Thou, O Christ, art the righteous Saviour, thou art the King of Israel, thou art the Fountain of blessing to all believers; thy favour is the defence and protection of thy church.
