Sometimes, when we are feeling shunned, maybe we are too caught up and are missing something.
Why is this such a fundamental prayer in Judaism? ( There is a laining version, please consult your Rabbi for what you hold regarding kol Isha. There is alternatively the first paragraph all the way at the end that is not in the regular laining trup)
In this famous psalm, if G-d is the Shepard in the scenario... would that make us the sheep being fattened for the slaughter or to be sold off? Or do we learn something deeper
Dovid teaches us what holistic prayer includes. ( No tune included with this mizmor as Dovid calls it a tefillah, prayer)
Recitation for a regular weekday person alone in his own home, Ashkenazi version. Following the recitation is a general explanation that I hope will help you have a more meaningful experience when you bench.
How we can relate this mizmor to this week's commemoration of Yom hazikaron and celebration of Yom haaztmaut, the strength that is required to be steadfast in what we believe.
In this mizmor the author feels like there is no more altruism in the world and asks Hashem to help him not to become someone who lacks loving kindness towards others
A word to healthcare workers, when Jewish patients ask for last rights or confession, this is our version for them to be able to say when they are gravely ill or know that they are at the end of life. This DOES NOT mean that they have given up hope. It is a means to ask for forgiveness and be able to clearly see and acknowledge G-ds role in their lives. The following version/order was recommended by Rabbi Jason Weiner, chaplain at Cedar Sinai medical center in California from the Jewish deathandmourning.org pamphlet. (Also includes psalms 91 yashev bseter, 121 esah enei, and 130 mimaamakim)

Unable to go to shul because of carona or need to read for someone who can't hear megillah in shul, no prior knowledge of the tune needed! Just need a kosher megillah scroll and you can say it along with this! Or you can learn the Troup if you would like to do that. Ask your Rabbi regarding kol Isha as I am the reader.
Mistake of Dovid and how this relates to the upcoming holiday of Purim and the current carona virus
After the responsive recitation, explanation of a core mizmor and how it teaches us to do teshuva.
Summary of psalm 4 and understanding Tehillim itself as a prism to getting through difficult times
