Psalm 4:7
“Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 4Meaning
The verse answers the search for good in verse 6. It compares sources and depth of joy without dismissing the goodness of material provision.
The light of God’s face, deeper joy, and peaceful rest
Answers the search for good with divine favor, inward gladness, and secure sleep entrusted to the LORD.
Read carefully
The comparison gives God-given joy greater weight; it does not deny bodily needs, grief, or the value of harvest.
Reflection
Receive material provision gratefully while asking for a joy that is not wholly controlled by changing supply.
