The cry of the godly: God's character appealed to
In Psalm 5 the cry of the godly is presented, and the character
of God, as necessarily responding to that of the godly, is
appealed to as necessitating His hearing him and judging the
wicked. If the godly love godliness, surely Jehovah does; if the
godly abhor wickedness, surely He does. It answers to the
"righteous Father" of the Lord in John 17: only there the answer
was heaven; here, earth — the necessary consequence of the
difference of Christ's position on earth and that of the remnant.
