INTRODUCTION TO Psalms 4 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, a Psalm of David. This psalm is inscribed "to the chief musician", or "conqueror" (c): who excelled others in the art of music, and carried the glory from them; who was very skilful, and instructed others in it, and was the master of the song, as Chenaniah, 1 Chronicles 15:22; who set the tune, led on the psalm, and had the whole...

[There be] many that say, who will show us [any] good?.... These may be thought to be the men of the world; carnal worldly minded men, seeking after temporal good, and taking up their rest and contentment in it; to whom the psalmist opposes his wish and request, in the following words.

You know that there is nothing else that will satisfy you. “Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.” We are not well.

Psa_4:6. There be many that say, who will shew us any good?
