< Psalms 4 >

1 For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness, Thou who didst set me free when I was in distress; be gracious unto me, and hear my prayer.
Psalmus cantici David, in finem. 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?
2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be put to shame, in that ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? (Selah)
Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the LORD hath set apart the godly man as His own; the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, et in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Tremble, and sin not; commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiae, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti laetitiam in corde meo.
6 Many there are that say: 'Oh that we could see some good!' LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than when their corn and their wine increase.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; for Thou, LORD, makest me dwell alone in safety.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
