Psalms 5:7

“But as for me, I will come [into] thy house, etc.] The tabernacle of Moses, sometimes called the house of God, (<130923>1 Chronicles 9:23); for as yet the temple was not built. Here David had been used to go in times past; and though he was now in a kind of exile from it, he was confident he should again enter into and determined so to do whenever he had an opportunity, and that in the following manner: in the multitude of thy mercy; grace or goodness. God is rich in mercy, abundant in goodness and truth; there is a multitude of mercy, love, and grace in his heart, and which is stored up in his covenant, and displayed in his Son, and in the provision of him as a Saviour of lost sinners;…”

“But--as in Psa 2:6, literally, "and." house-- (Ch1 9:23), the tabernacle. temple--literally, "palace," applied to God's residence, the Holy of Holies (Sa1 3:3; Sa2 22:7); the inner part of the tabernacle. toward--not in; the high priest alone was allowed to enter.”

“But as for me - While it is their characteristic that they are wicked, and have no desire to serve God; and while with such characteristics they can have no hope of access to God, and no reason to suppose that he will hear their cry, I am inclined to enter his house, and I feel the assurance that he will listen to my prayer. In character and ill feelings he was wholly unlike them. I will come into thy house - Indicating his expectation and his hope that he would yet be permitted to enter the courts of the Lord, from which he was now driven away (see the introduction to the psalm), and his purpose thus to acknowledge God. The word “house” here refers to the tabernacle, which was regarded as…”

“Come - With holy boldness and confidence. Mercy - Trusting only in thy great mercy. Fear - With an holy dread and reverence of thy majesty. Towards - Looking towards it, when I cannot come to it. Psalms 5:8”

“5:7 God promises his unfailing love—his covenant goodness and faithfulness—to his people (see 25:6; 69:16; Lam 3:32). • your house: The godly long to come into God’s presence with reverence and awe (see Heb 12:28).”

“But: Psa 55:16; Jos 24:15; Luk 6:11, Luk 6:12 in the: Psa 51:1, Psa 52:8, Psa 69:13, Psa 69:16; Isa 55:7; Rom 5:20, Rom 5:21 in thy: Psa 130:4; Hos 3:5; Act 9:31; Heb 12:28, Heb 12:29; Pe1 1:17-19 I worship: Psa 28:2, Psa 132:7, Psa 138:2; Kg1 8:29, Kg1 8:30, Kg1 8:35, Kg1 8:38; Dan 6:10; Heb 4:16 thy holy temple: Heb. the temple of thy holiness, Isa 64:11 Psalms 5:8”

“(Heb.: 5:8-10) Since the Psalm is a morning hymn, the futt. in Psa 5:8 state what he, on the contrary, may and will do ( Psa 66:13). By the greatness and fulness of divine favour ( Psa 116:14) he has access (εἴσοδον, for בּוא means, according to its root, "to enter") to the sanctuary, and he will accordingly repair thither to-day. It is the tabernacle on Zion in which was the ark of the covenant that is meant here. That daily liturgical service was celebrated there must be assumed, since the ark of the covenant is the sign and pledge of Jahve's presence; and it is, moreover, attested by Ch1 16:37. It is also to be supposed that sacrifice was offered daily before the tabernacle. For it is…”
