Psalm 4:8 Updated American Standard Version (UASV)
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in safety.
For you alone, O Jehovah, make me dwell in safety. There are two ideas here: (a) One a confidence that he would abide in safety; (b) the other, that he owed this entirely to the Lord. He had no power to defend himself, and yet he felt assured that he would be safe—for he put his trust entirely in the Lord. The whole language implies unwavering trust or confidence in God and is thus instructive and useful for all. It teaches us (1) that in the midst of troubles, we may put our trust in God; and (2) that religion is adapted to make the mind calm in such circumstances and to enable its possessor to lie down without anxiety in the slumbers of the night, and to pursue without anxiety the duties of the day.
