John Trapp on Psalms 5:2

Verſ. 2. Hearken unto the voyce of my cry] He thrice repeats the ſame requeſt, to ſhew the greatneſs of his grief and the neceſſity of help from Heaven. Let mind and mouth, ſpirit and ſpeech, go together in prayer, and then its right, the voyce of the Heart is ſimply neceſſary: Moſes cried to God at the red Sea, though he ſaid nothing. The voyce of the lips is of great uſe alſo. 1. For preventing of diſtraction. 2. For exciting devotion.

My King] And therefore help O King, as ſhe ſaid, 2 King. 5.24. And my God] who art in covenant with me, both offenſive and defenſive.

For unto thee will I pray] Thou art the proper object of Prayer, as being Omnipreſent, Omniſcient, Omnipotent: and a God in covenant with thy people.
