Commentary

Psalm 5

Scofield Reference Notes (1917 edition) (1917)

The notes that made the Scofield Bible famous. They read Scripture through dispensationalism, a framework many Christians do not share: read with discernment.

Verses 1–6

Nehiloth

Nehiloth is not a musical instrument, but means "inheritance," and indicates the character of the Psalm. The righteous are the Lord's inheritance.

Verses 7–10

fear

(See Scofield "Psalms 19:9")

Verses 11–12

trust

(See Scofield "Psalms 2:12")
