Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 5:7

7. But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy : and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple .

To wit, with holy boldness and confidence, as becomes thy Son and Servant: Whereas mine Enemies cannot appear in thy presence with any comfort and safety, v. 5.

To wit, the Tabernacle: from which, tho I be now excluded through the malice and power of mine Adversaries, yet thou wiltst, I doubt not, r[illegible: 1+ letters]store me to my former opportunities of coming thither to worship thee, which was my constant custom and chief joy.

Or, [illegible: 1 word] thy great Mercy, (i. e.) Trusting only to thy great Mercy for admittance thither, and acceptance there. Or, for or because of thy many Mercies to me: for which I will come to pay my thanks and service unto thee.

With an holy dread and reverence of thy Majesty and of thy House, and a due care to please thee in my religious Worship, and in the whole course of my Life. Which he opposeth to the carelesness of his Enemies who came thither so rudely and presumptuously, and with the conscience of such wicked Hearts and Lives.

Looking towards it, when I cannot come to it: Compare Dan. 6. 10. Or, at thy holy Temple, (i. e.) the Tabernacle, which is sometimes called by that name.
