Psalms 4:1

Hear me when I call, offering ears favorable to his cause, O God of my righteousness, literally, "my God of righteousness," since Jehovah is the Vindicator of righteousness when it is falsely represented and persecuted. Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress, making room, space, for his anxious heart when he was in straits. Have mercy upon me, the idea of unmerited favor coming to the front here, and hear my prayer. David urges his fellowship with Jehovah and the fact of his recent deliverance as reasons why God should show him further favors. He now, in a rhetorical manner, turns to the followers of Absalom, the proud and rebellious company.
