Psalms 4 is also known as a Evening Prayer (Psalms 3 is the Morning Prayer).
This one refers to God as your defender. For those who insult others or what love what is worthless and false, they may pray to God but love their "stuff" even more--the stuff here in the Psalm is mentioned to be their wine and grain.
The speaker of the Psalm (David) tells in the end that when he lies down and goes to sleep, he sleeps peacefully, for he knows God keeps him perfectly safe.
Bottom line on the Psalm is this: trust in the Lord, not your stuff. If you find yourself in trouble, your car or your home or your debts will not get you out of trouble. God is the only one to help with that. Put all of your problems in God's hands . . . you'll be amazed at the results.
