During times of trouble, David recalled God’s directing him to “be silent” (Psalm 4:4) , which is spiritual quietness that only God, who created us, can give us, in a world that is filled with noise, for a genuine response to God is made in His silence, which is inseparable from mystery, conversion, salvation, permanence, worship, discipline, and commitment, and David realized that without God’s silence, something is missing from the person God created us to be, and God’s gift of silence enabled David to dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8), which is inseparable from God’s silence.
