Psalms 4
1 For the End, a Song of David among [the ]Psalms. When I called upon [him], the God of my righteousness heard me: thou hast made room for me in tribulation; pity me, and hearken to 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 [will ye be] slow of heart? wherefore do ye love vanity, and seek falsehood? (Pause)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know ye that the Lord has done wondrous things for his holy one: the Lord will hear me when I cry to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Be ye angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts. (Pause)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness, and trust in the Lord.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, Who will shew us good things? the light of thy countenance, O Lord, has been manifested towards us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast put gladness into my heart: they have been satisfied with the fruit of their corn and wine and oil.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 I will both lie down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only hast caused me to dwell securely.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.
