In verse four, God has given those who fear God a banner. Banners in war were set so that troops would have a rallying point or a place they should be. One of the most dangerous times in a battle that I have read is when a group or a person isn't where they are supposed to be during a battle. Equally dangerous, and goes along with that, is when you can't tell where you are supposed to be. I remember reading somewhere that someone got lost and found themselves surrounded by the enemy, and they just kept marching with them until they found their own forces. God, however, has offered us a banner, a sign, to those who fear him, and I would say that rallying point is God himself. He is the one we need when we are in danger.
