Psalms 4
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
In finem, in carminibus. Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus justitiæ meæ, in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum, usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
2 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
