Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. (Psa 5:8 ESV)
This seems to me to be the key verse in Psalm 5. David is pleading to God to make him like Him:
Righteous.
God's righteousness is expressed in His affections in Psalm 5:
The Affections of God
God does not delight in wickedness. (vs. 4)
God hates evildoers. (vs. 5)
God abhors murder and treachery. (vs. 6)
God loves the person that fears Him. (vs. 7)
God favors those who take refuge in Him. (vs. 12)
Father, right my affections so that I will abhor sin and hate evil; and so that I will love fearing and taking refuge in You.
