Psalms 4
1 To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of Dauid. Heare me when I call, O God of my righteousnes: thou hast set me at libertie, when I was in distresse: haue mercie vpon me and hearken vnto 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 sonnes of men, howe long will yee turne my glory into shame, louing vanitie, and seeking lyes? (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 For be ye sure that the Lord hath chosen to himselfe a godly man: the Lord will heare when I call vnto him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Tremble, and sinne not: examine your owne heart vpon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. Multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousnes, and trust in the Lord.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, Who will shewe vs any good? but Lord, lift vp the light of thy countenance vpon vs.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast giuen mee more ioye of heart, then they haue had, when their wheate and their wine did abound.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 I will lay mee downe, and also sleepe in peace: for thou, Lord, onely makest me dwell in safetie.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]
