Psalms 4
1 “To the chief musician on Neginoth, a psalm of David.” When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness: amidst distress thou hast [ever] granted me enlargement; be gracious unto me, and hear 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 shall my glory be put to shame? [how long] will ye love vanity, will ye seek for lies? (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum; Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the Lord hath set apart the pious for himself: the Lord will hear when I call on him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare; quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Tremble, and sin not: commune with your heart upon your bed, and be still (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, 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 lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many say, “Who will show us happiness? Let shine brightly over us the light of thy countenance, O Lord.”
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui, multiplicati sunt.
7 [But] thou hast placed more joy in my heart than at the time when their corn and their wine were increased.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace, altogether, will I lay me down and sleep; for thou, Lord, alone, causest me to dwell in safety.
quoniam tu, Domine, singulariter in spe constituisti me.]
