Psalm 4:3
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Know
means to know with certainty. Not maybe, or we hope to know, or we wish, or perhaps. This means certainty. There is no guessing, no luck, no chance or randomness, but with a guarantee, this knowledge is certain.
The Lord has set apart
means to separate permanently, to distinguish as different
We have been separated out of this world, cut out of the world, made different from all that are in the world, through our faith in Christ, and through doctrine that we have learned and therefore, making a spiritual life in us, verses those who do not possess salvation and/or a spiritual life.
The godly
means properly, of a kind or pattern, good, holy.
The godly is the person who possess the attributes and characteristics within their soul, that God places in their soul, by means of the functioning spiritual life.
The spiritual life begins when the person believes in Christ. Being born again, means that you have a new birth into the spiritual realm that unbelievers do not have. That is the first separation.
The spiritual life then develops with growth as you learn doctrine through a daily study. Spiritual growth develops and builds within your soul, the norms and standards of the spiritual life. It constructs a temple, a fortress, a mansion within your soul.
the LORD will hear when I call to him
And God separates for Himself, not for the world, but for Himself, the spiritually mature person. That is the individual who is separated apart, distinguished from, made different according to the pattern of the spiritual life. It is the spiritually mature believer who is heard, and answered when prayer is offered to God.
