Commentary on Psalms 4:3

Theological / Devotional

But know. Since Jehovah has set apart the psalmist for a special work, the efforts of his enemies to thwart that purpose must come to nought.

Godly. Heb. chasid, one who shows his love to God by his pious manner of life (see Additional Note on Ps. 36).

The Lord will hear. Since he is godly and accordingly is faithfully carrying out the service to which God has appointed him, he is assured that God will hear him and deliver him. Here is real ground for confidence: if the Christian is faithfully carrying out God’s plan for him, he may expect God to uphold him until he has completed the work that Heaven designs for him to do.
