(Unsplash) Psalm 5:7–8 Having reviewed the attributes of God, focusing on His sovereignty and goodness, David examines himself (vv. 7–8). But as for me, by Your abundant loving kindness, I will enter Your house, At Your holy temple, I will bow in reverence for You. O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of my foes; Make Your way straight before me. Verse 7 begins with a strong contrast. The Hebrew is exceptionally strong, literally: "But me ... as for me!" In contrast to those whom the Lord would destroy (v. 6), David enjoyed a spiritual position, which is mentioned in the latter part of verse 7 as "Your holy temple," a poetic reference to intimate fellowship with the Lord.
