Righteousness appealed to by the godly
Psalm 4 differs in this respect from Psalm 3, of which we shall
see other examples, that it is not simple confidence, but appeals
to righteousness against the sons of men, who turn all the glory
that belongs to the people of Jehovah, and especially to their
king, into shame; but Jehovah has chosen the godly. The light of
Jehovah's countenance is his resource. In Psalm 3:4, and Psalm 4:1, the experienced mercy of Jehovah is referred to.
