Historical Background

Psalm 5 was written by King David around 1000 BCE. It was likely used in temple worship and reflects the belief that God is just and hates evil. David wrote this in a setting where the Israelites had a strong understanding of righteousness and the consequences of sin.

Living It Out Today

In modern times, think about how we judge our friends and colleagues. If someone consistently behaves in a way that is harmful or dishonest, we naturally want to distance ourselves from them. Similarly, God wants a relationship with those who are wise and good.
