David Prays at Dawn Facing the Tabernacleby emmanuel_higgins

Psalms 5:7

But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

In its setting the verse stands as a contrast between deceitful and unrighteous speech on the one side and the faithful person's approach to God on the other. Entry into God's house is not claimed as a right but is made possible by and dependent upon the abundance of His mercy. The worshipper comes relying wholly on that multitude of mercy for access and acceptance. Worship directed toward His holy temple is then offered in His fear, with reverence and awe.

That same approach carries comforting assurance for those who are sick, dying, or in distress. Even in suffering and at the point of death, the afflicted may still draw near to God in confidence in His abundant mercy. Their worship, though offered from weakness, is reverent worship toward His holy temple.
