Psalms 4
1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear 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 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]
