Psalm 4:5 KJV

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 4:5

Psalms 4:5. Offer Unto God, that he may be reconciled to you; the sacrifice of righteousness Righteous sacrifices; which requires that the persons offering them be righteous and do righteous things, and offer them with an honest mind, with faith and true repentance. Without which he intimates that all their sacrifices were of no esteem with God, and would be wholly unprofitable to them. And put your trust in the Lord And then, that is, so doing, you may rely upon God, and confidently... 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

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 4:1-8

This is an evening hymn, and though no occasion is mentioned it may perhaps be referred, like Psalms 3 (its natural companion), to the time of Absalom’s revolt, but to a somewhat later stage in the course of events, when the peril had largely passed away. It contains David’s appeal to God (Psalms 4:1), his appeal to his enemies (Psalms 4:2-5), and his own resolve (Psalms 4:6-8).Title.—(RV) ’For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments (Neginoth).’1.
