Commentary on Psalms 5:2

Theological / Devotional

My King, and my God. It is noteworthy that David, a king, should acknowledge his subjection to the King of kings, his God. “God” is here a translation of ’Elohim (see Vol. 1, pp. 170, 171). The psalmist recognizes the omnipotence of God. Ugaritic literature shows many examples of the designation “king” for ’el.
