< Psalms 4 >
1 In parts according to verses. A Psalm of David. When I called upon him, the God of my justice heeded me. In tribulation, you have enlarged me. Have mercy on me, and heed my prayer.
in finem in carminibus psalmus David cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiae meae in tribulatione dilatasti mihi miserere mei et exaudi orationem meam filii hominum usquequo gravi corde ut quid diligitis vanitatem et quaeritis mendacium diapsalma
2 Sons of men, how long will you be dull in heart, so that whatever you love is in vain, and whatever you seek is false? (Pause)
et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum
3 And know this: the Lord has made wondrous his holy one. The Lord will heed me when I cry out to him.
irascimini et nolite peccare quae dicitis in cordibus vestris in cubilibus vestris conpungimini diapsalma
4 Be angry, and do not be willing to sin. The things that you say in your hearts: be sorry for them on your beds. (Pause)
sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae et sperate in Domino multi dicunt quis ostendet nobis bona
5 Offer the sacrifice of justice, and hope in the Lord. Many say, “Who reveals to us what is good?”
signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine dedisti laetitiam in corde meo
6 The light of your countenance, Lord, has been sealed upon us. You have given joy to my heart.
a fructu frumenti et vini et olei sui multiplicati sunt
7 By the fruit of their grain, wine, and oil, they have been multiplied.
in pace in id ipsum dormiam et requiescam
8 In peace itself, I will sleep and I will rest. For you, O Lord, have established me singularly in hope.
quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me
