Psalms 5:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 5:7
After describing God's hatred of sinners, David contrasts himself not through self-righteousness but through God's mercy. 'The multitude of thy mercy' (Hebrew 'rob chesed' - abundance of covenant love) is his only plea. David will worship 'in thy fear' - reverential awe, not terror. The temple (literally 'holy temple' or 'palace of holiness') represents God's presence. This verse captures the Reformed doctrine of sola gratia - we approach God solely through His mercy, not our merit, yet this grace produces holy fear and worship.
