Psalms 4:7

7. Thou hast put gladness Evidently this relates to some recent answer to prayer since he left Jerusalem, which lighted up his soul in joyful confidence. See on Psalms 3:6.

More than in the time… their corn and… wine increased The supplies brought to the king in his flight and on his arrival at Mahanaim (2 Samuel 16:1-4; 2 Samuel 17:27-29) were cheering, especially as the latter evidenced a loyal spirit in the Gileadites, who, at the first, for seven years, had supported the house of Saul against David; but the allusion appears to be rather to the joy of the national harvest and the vintage, when the revenues of the king flowed in, and the land resounded with festive songs. Above this joy was that now experienced by some recent token of divine favour in answer to prayer.
