Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 5:3

3. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning , O LORD, in the morning will I direct my Prayers , unto thee, and will look up .

Either 1. metaphorically, (i. e.) early, seasonably, in a time when thou wiltst be found, and art ready to hear. Or 2. properly, every morning. As soon as I awake, I am still with thee, as he saith, Psal. 139. 18. The first thing that I do is to pray to thee, I neither neglect nor delay that work. But this is not spoken exclusively as to his other times of Prayer, as appears from Psal. 55. 17. but only eminently▪ to shew his constancy, diligence, and eagerness in the work.

Or, mint eyes▪ Which may be well understood out of the following word; which is usual in Scripture. Or, it, (So it is only a defect of the Pronoun, which is most frequent) to wit, my voice, last mentioned; or, which is equivalent, my words, which is also understood with this very Ver[illegible: 1+ letters], [illegible: 1 word] 3[illegible: 1+ letters]. 5. and is expressed with it, [illegible: 1 word] 3[illegible: 1+ letters]. 14. And the Verb here and there used is very emphatical, and notes his great care and exactness so to direct or [illegible: 1 word], or compose himself and his Prayers in such a manner as was most pleasing to God▪

To wit, unto thee (as he now said) for help. The word implies a confident▪ and withal, a pa[illegible: 1+ letters]ient expectation of relief, as Psal. 130. 6. Mic. 7. 7. H[illegible: 1+ letters]b. 2. 1. See also Psal. 145. 15. Acts 3. 4.
