Definition: My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct [my prayer] unto thee, and will look up.
Explanation: Okay, let’s break down Psalm 5:3 – it’s a beautiful and comforting verse! Here's what it means in simple terms: Basically, this verse is saying: “God wants to hear from me, and he wants to look at me, every single moment .” Let's unpack it a little further: “My voice shalt thou hear…” – This means God wants to hear your prayers or requests. It’s about being open to hearing from Him. “…in the morning…” – This is the start of a blessed time, usually when we wake up and have the opportunity to connect with God. “O LORD…” – This simply means “God.” “…will direct [my prayer] unto thee…” – It’s like saying "I will give you my prayers." The word “direct” here means to focus on your request, to guide it towards Him. “and will look up.” – This is the key part! It's not just listening , but also looking up at God with a hopeful and grateful heart. It’s about seeing His presence and goodness. The overall feeling of this verse is one of: Hope: It’s a promise of hearing from God, even when we feel busy or distracted. Gratitude: It expresses thanks for the opportunity to connect with Him. Trust: It's about trusting in God's guidance and presence. In short, it’s a reminder that God is always listening to us and wants to be involved in our lives. --- Would you like me to explain another verse?
