Psalm 5 Explained | Morning Prayer for Guidance, Justice, and Protection
Season 19 Episode 5
In this episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to Psalm 5, a powerful morning prayer of David that blends heartfelt pleas with confident trust. David begins his day by calling on God, asking for justice against the wicked while affirming God’s holiness and righteousness. The psalm contrasts the deceitful and violent with those who seek refuge in the Lord, concluding with a blessing of joy, protection, and favor for the faithful.
We’ll explore the ancient wisdom in Psalm 5: the discipline of starting each morning with prayer, the call to align our speech and actions with truth, and the reminder that God’s justice is certain even when injustice seems to prevail. In our modern world—filled with noise, uncertainty, and competing voices—Psalm 5 offers a guide for beginning the day with clarity, peace, and confidence in God’s presence.
If you’ve ever needed a way to set the tone for your day, this psalm is a timeless invitation to step into the morning with faith and focus.
