Комментарий к Тегилим 4:4

has set apart Heb. הפלה, has separated.

But know that the Lord hath set apart (הפלה): – He hath set aside and separated. So also, "the Lord shall set apart (והפ֫לה) between the cattle of Israel" (Exod. 9:4). And its interpretation: He has separated me from all Israel to be king; on the analogy of "The Lord separated the tribe of Levi" (Deut. 10:8). And why? Because He knows me to be

a godly one: – The godly is he who does good to his neighbour beyond what the Law requires of him. And with how many of the children of men did David deal thus! For they dealt evilly with him and he dealt well with them; as it is said of Saul that he confessed to him and said (1 Sam. 24:18): "for thou hast rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil." And behold he has separated me

for Himself: – and given me the kingdom. How, then, do ye think to steal it from me and to set up another king? And although you see me in distress now, you shall know that

The Lord will hear me when I call unto Him - – and bring me out of this trouble.
