"Faith alone" is no less important to us as to the Reformers because it is one of the key points that separate the true biblical Gospel from false gospels. Getting the Gospel right is so important that earlier in Galatians Paul writes: "As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed (Gal 1:9)". Justification by faith alone, that is to say, the way we are considered right before God is fundamental to the Gospel and thus a literal matter of life and death.

Psalm 4 - Learning Through Lament Listen
Since in the compilation of the book of Psalms we have good reason to believe the individual psalms were arranged intentionally, we can look at Psalm 4 as rising out of the lament we encountered in Psalm 3.
