But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
But understand this: the LORD has chosen those who are faithful to Him for His own special purpose. The LORD will listen when I call out to Him.
This verse declares that God has specially chosen faithful people as His own, and He promises to hear their prayers when they call to Him.
📚 Historical Context
Psalms 4 is attributed to King David, who often wrote psalms during periods of personal distress, such as when he faced enemies or threats to his throne in ancient Israel. In this verse, David is reassuring himself and possibly his followers that God specially chooses and protects the godly, emphasizing divine favor amid opposition. This reflects the broader Old Testament theme of God's covenant relationship with His people, where He promises to respond to their cries for help.
