Word of God
But he replied and said, "It is written, 'It is not by bread alone that a man lives, except by every word that issues from the mouth of God
The Gospel According to Matthew 4:4

The Book of Psalm 5:7
All commentary is prefaced/edited by Doktor Riktor Von Zhades

But I will come into thine house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thine holy Temple.

Brethren:

The god fearing man, the one who reverences and believes upon His mercy, will worship Him in His house. He will commune with Him, daily, alone and likewise with others of the same beliefs.
Make note friends that He also dwells within us, so the Holy temple is also within us. It matters little where this time of worship occurs, but that it does occur is of utmost importance. Seek Him and He shall be found by you. (Read Psalm 63:1-3; Jeremiah 29:3) - Doktor Riktor Von Zhades - Servant of Christ

God is rich in mercy, abundant in goodness and truth; there is a multitude of mercy, love, and grace in his heart, and which is stored up in his covenant, and displayed in his Son, and in the provision of him as a Saviour of lost sinners; abundant mercy is shown in regeneration, in adoption, and in the forgiveness of sins, and in every spiritual blessing, and in the gift of eternal life. And now, not relying on his own merits, strength, and righteousness, or leaning to his own understanding, but trusting in the mercy, grace, and goodness of God in Christ, and in hope of finding more grace and mercy to help in time of need; with thankfulness for what he had received, he determines, by divine leave and assistance, to enter, into the house of the Lord: and whatever other persons did, whom he had before described, it was his resolution to serve the Lord, under a sense of his mercy and goodness to him; which laid him under an obligation so to do, and is the true principle from which all service should proceed.

The habitation of God's holiness, towards which, and to God there, the psalmist would lift up his eyes, his hands, and heart; at the door of which the worship [where] God met his people; and therefore he says he would worship towards the temple or tabernacle. David has reference to the Messiah, the medium of divine worship; whose human nature was typified by the tabernacle and temple, in which the fulness of the Godhead dwells: the psalmist therefore purposes to worship God in Christ, and to perform all acts of worship, as prayer, praise, hearing the word, offering sacrifice in the name and faith of Christ; looking towards him for the presentation of his services by him, and for the acceptance of them with God through him: and this he desired to do in the "fear" of God; not with a slavish fear, but with reverence and godly fear; with a fear influenced by the multitude of God's mercy, grace, and goodness, in art humble modest manner, not trusting to, or depending upon, any service.” - John Gill - 17th Century Theologian
