Solomon asks God for wisdom to be able to discern between good and evil. God blesses him because he asked for discernment and not riches. So Solomon shows his wisdom in giving justice to those that deserve it. There is a story here about two women claiming one child and Solomon tests them both to determine who the true mother is. Everyone is in awe of how he handles this situation and the justice that was served.
I feel that Psalm 5 is a psalm that we should be praying right now. There seems to be so much evil in the world and people making very selfish decisions, and I want to be on the right side of God when we get to the other side of this. I think that this would be a good daily prayer for ourselves and the world so that we don't get caught up in all that is going on and make the mistake of not following God's Word.

This passage talks of the wisdom God gave to Solomon. It does appear that God is pleased with him for not asking for material possessions or long life, but for discernment. It goes on to list his officials and governors. It also says that all nations of people came to listen to Solomon's wisdom.
This psalms seems to be asking God to bless those that praise him and punish those that are evil.
