Psalms 4
1 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David. Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. Give me relief from my distress. Have mercy on 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 You sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor? Will you 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 has set apart for himself him who is godly; The LORD 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 do not sin. Search your own heart on 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. Put your trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, “Who will show us any good?” LORD, let the light of your face shine on us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 You 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 lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]
