The Safety of the Faithful
To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.
You have relieved me in my distress;
1Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah
The Lord will hear when I call to Him.
| << Psalms 3:8 | Psalms 4:2 >> |
Psalms 4:1
Hear me when I call - No man has a right to expect God to hear him if he do not call. Indeed, how shall he be heard if he speak not? There are multitudes who expect the blessings of God as confidently as if they had prayed for them most fervently; and yet such people pray not at all!
God of my righteousness - Whatever pardon, peace, holiness, or truth I possess, has come entirely from thyself. Thou art the God of my salvation, as thou art the God of my life.
Thou hast enlarged me - I was in prison; and thou hast brought me forth abroad. Have mercy on me - continue to act in the same way. I shall always need thy help; I shall never deserve to have it; let me have it in the way of mere mercy, as thou hast hitherto done.
