< Psalms 4 >
1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness. Thou have enlarged me in distress. Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
In finem in carminibus, Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiæ 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 turned into dishonor? Will 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 Jehovah has set apart for himself him who is holy. Jehovah will hear when I call to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Stand in awe, and sin not. Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in Jehovah.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many there are who say, Who will show us good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and their new wine are increased.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for thou, Jehovah, alone make me dwell in safety.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
