What does Psalm 5:11 mean?

Recent verses have focused on the sins of David's enemies, and his prayers that God would bring holy judgment (Psalm 5:9–10). Here, he turns his attention back to a prayer for the righteous. He asks that all who entrust their lives to God be able to rejoice. Despite his troubles (2 Samuel 15:13–14), David possessed joy because his life was in the Lord's hands. He wanted others to express their joy in knowing God was their protection.

As a psalmist of Israel, David wrote poetry set to music and offering praise to the Lord. Modern Christians have a great heritage of hymns and choruses. In addition to meditating on God's written Word, we can draw closer to the Lord by mulling over the words of hymns and choruses that honor Him.

David prays in this verse for the Lord's protection to cover the righteous. He calls upon those who love the Lord's name to exult in Him. The Lord's "name" represents God's character and reputation. Knowing that the Lord is holy, gracious, merciful, and faithful to His promises should lead us, too, to exult in Him.
