PSALM 5
In this Psalm He directs His voice to God in the midst of this state of things, conscious of the spirit and ways of the wicked, and looking for judgment, for, if the godly love godliness, surely God does, and they know this character of God, i.e., of Jehovah — the Lord will abhor them — the Lord will bless the righteous. This Psalm and the following give us the Remnant. It is the anxious enquiry of the beloved under the circumstances of trial; but Psalm 4 includes, and addresses itself indeed, to the Gentiles, who have no portion in His covenant with the nation, the Jews rather.
— 6. The Antichrist.
— 7. Khas ‘d’ka — “Thy mercy”.
— 8. “Thy righteousness”.
— 9 - 11. The contrast of the Jews, joined to Antichrist, and the just.
— 10. “Rebelled”.
— 11. “Trust”. The faith of the Spirit of Christ pierces through the circumstances.
