Daily Bible Quote On Peace

Psalm 4:8
In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep,
for you alone, Yahweh, make me live in safety.

Psalm 4 is a prayer of David to God, in which he seeks relief from his distress and asks God to show him mercy. The psalm begins with David crying out to God in distress and asking Him to hear his prayer (verse 1). David then rebukes his enemies who are seeking to harm him (verse 2) and reminds them that God has set apart the godly for Himself (verse 3).

In verse 4, David encourages his readers to trust in God and to offer sacrifices of righteousness to Him. He then acknowledges that many people are asking, "Who can show us any good?" (verse 6), implying that they have lost faith in God's ability to provide for them.

In verse 7, David expresses his own confidence in God, saying that He has put more joy in his heart than when others have plenty of grain and new wine. Finally, in verse 8, David declares his peaceful trust in God, saying that he can lay down and sleep in safety because God alone sustains him.

Psalm 4:8 serves as a declaration of David's unwavering trust in God, despite the challenges he is facing. David acknowledges that only God can give him true safety and security, and he finds peace in that knowledge, even in the midst of his distress. It is a powerful statement of faith that encourages us to trust in God's protection and provision, even when we are faced with difficult circumstances.
