5:3Lord, in the morning3 you will hear4 me;5

in the morning I will present my case to you6 and then wait expectantly for an answer.7

Read in Logos
Psalm 5:3: O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.

Footnotes

  1. 3 In the morning is here viewed as the time of prayer (Pss 59:16; 88:13) and/or of deliverance (Ps 30:5).
  2. 4 The imperfect is here understood in a specific future sense; the psalmist is expressing his confidence that God will be willing to hear his request. Another option is to understand the imperfect as expressing the psalmist’s wish or request. In this case one could translate, “Lord, in the morning hear me.”
  3. 5 Heb “my voice.”
  4. 6 Heb “I will arrange for you.” Some understand a sacrifice or offering as the implied object (cf. “I set out my morning sacrifice”). The present translation assumes that the implied object is the psalmist’s case/request. See Isa 44:7.
  5. 7 Heb “and I will watch.”
