5:7-8 Confidence of the Pious. The genuinely godly recognize that they come before God only through "the abundance of your steadfast love" (v. 7); and thus they pray that God will lead them to walk in the way that is morally straight (v. 8). There is nothing self-righteous about the confidence and prayers here.
