Psalm 4

Many keep saying, "Who will give us happiness?" LORD, let the light of your face shine upon us.

The prayer for deliverance from personal enemies affirms that God will hear the cry of the psalmist. The light of the "face of the LORD," of course, is a metaphor. The psalmist is not seeking a ray of light from the forehead or eyes of God, but is praying in his distress for the presence of God to comfort him and to protect him from his enemies.

How are we to find happiness? By doing what is right and trusting in God.

Grace and peace...Bob
