Psalms 5:2

Give ear to my words, O Lord when I have strength to ask before You and, when I have no strength to pray before You and the worry is confined to my heart...consider my meditation Heb. בינה. Consider the meditation of my heart. So it is explained in Midrash [Psalms 5:6]: In every [instance of] בינה in Scripture, the accent is under the “nun,” except this one and its fellow (in Job 34: 16): “And if you wish, understand (בִּנָה), hearken to this,” which is not a noun but an expression of “understand,” like (Prov. 23:1): “you should understand well (בין תבין) who is in front of you.” Therefore, the accent is under the “beth.”

Give ear (ha'azinah) to my words: [The verb ha'azinah is] from the same root/sector (mi-gizrat) as oznayim (ears). [It means] "Incline Your ear."

Consider (binah): [This is] the imperative form (lashon tzivui). Similar to [the imperative] "Simah na" ("Place, please" - cf. Job 17:3).

My utterance (hagigi): [This noun is from a] doubled Ayin [root, ה-ג-ג / H-G-G], for it is from [the root] H-G-H. [It is formed] like [the noun] z'nuneha (her harlotry - from ז-נ-ה). And [the Psalmist] said "Consider" (Binah) to Ad-nai in the manner of a human being [using anthropomorphic language]. This is similar to [the request in (Psalm 139:23)] "And know my heart," and also [to] "Give ear" (Ha'azinah). And the meaning/reason is so that it will become clear to all that there is no doubt He knows everything, and He has no need for [physical] ears – in the manner of (Psalm 94:9): "He who plants the ear, shall He not hear?"

[Regarding the word] Attend (Hakshivah) [in the next verse, v. 3]: This root (gizrah - ק-שׁ-ב / Q-Sh-B) is [typically] connected with [the preposition] Lamed [ל־, meaning "to"]. Therefore, it is not correct usage (lo nakhon) to say [a phrase like] "Mi yakshiveni?" ("Who will listen me?" [without the Lamed indicating to whom one listens]).

And the meaning of My King [in v. 3] is: I have no [other] king to whom I cry for help (eshava elav), only You alone.

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.
