v. 4 – For the alternative emendation כְּ "like" in place of the MT's בְּ "in, by," see Symmachus, Sexta, Targum Psalms, and the Peshitta. While the sense of the clause requires a comparison (as would be communicated by כְּ), often either בְּ or כְּ are employed to fulfill the role of both (cf. Ps 95:8), and there is no textual evidence for כְּ in any Hebrew manuscripts.
