Psalm 5:2
Douay-Rheims
Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry.
Radak
Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation: – Give ear to what I utter with my mouth and consider what I meditate in my heart. Therefore he uses the word consider with meditation, and give ear to with my words. He uses (the term) הגיגי (“my meditation”), which is derived from הגה by doubling the second radical, just as (in the verse) “for the lightning (חזיז) of the thunder” (Job 38:25), (where חזיז is derived) from חזה.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
