< Psalms 4 >
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved my distress; show me grace 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 How long, O men, will my honor be maligned? How long will you love vanity and seek after lies?
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still.
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many ask, “Who can show us the good?” Shine the light of Your face upon us, O LORD.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 You have filled my heart with more joy than when grain and new wine abound.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
