Psalm 5 (summary): Morning by morning

Psalm 5 is another Davidic psalm for the director of music which this time is to be accompanied by flutes. It clearly is a morning prayer: "Morning by morning, O Lord you hear my voice; morning by morning I lay my requests before you". The psalm decries the wicked for being arrogant, bloodthirsty and deceitful, contrasting such people with David's personal pleasure in being in God's house paying reverent homage. God is depicted as holy detesting wickedness and falsehood. However those who take refuge in God are glad living under divine protection like with a shield.
