Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 4:6

Psalms 4:6. There be many that say, &c. There be many (the multitude, the generality of men in almost every station) that say, Who will show us any good? That is, “Who will heap honours upon us? Who will point out the way to wealth and luxury? Who will present new scenes of pleasure, that we may indulge our appetites, and give full scope to the rovings of a wanton fancy?” That this is the substance of what was intended by the sacred writer in this question, the words put in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 4:1-8

Psalms 3 -4 Morning and evening psalmsThe title that introduces Psalms 3:0 indicates that David wrote the psalm after his son Absalom rose up in rebellion against him and seized the throne of Israel (2 Samuel 15:1-17:29). In much distress David fled Jerusalem, but he still trusted in God.Absalom’s rebellion appears to be so successful that many people think David has no chance of escape. He seems to have little hope of saving his life (3:1-2). But David’s faith in God is unshakable. He lies... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 4:5

"Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,And put your trust in Jehovah.Many there are that say, who will show us any good?Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.""Offer the sacrifices of righteousness." This is a reference to keeping the Lord's commandments as diligently, faithfully, and continually as is humanly possible. Of course; Christian "sacrifices" are utterly unlike the bloody offerings of the Old Testament, as indicated in 1 Peter 2:5."Light of thy countenance upon... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 4:1-8

Psalms 4Many students of the psalms have recognized that Psalms 4 is very closely akin to Psalms 3 in both subject matter and structure. It is an individual lament with motifs characteristic of psalms of confidence. Bullock saw this type of psalm as a distinct genre (including Psalms 4, 16, 23, 27, 62, , 73) and called these psalms individual psalms of trust."Unlike the psalms of thanksgiving, which state the crisis and also add a word of assurance that the crisis has passed, this group of... read more
