Psalms 4
1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. A PSALM OF DAVID. In my calling answer me, O God of my righteousness. In adversity You gave enlargement to me; Favor me, and hear my prayer.
In finem in carminibus, Psalmus David. Cum invocarem exaudivit me Deus iustitiæ meæ: in tribulatione dilatasti mihi. Miserere mei, et exaudi orationem meam. Filii hominum usquequo gravi corde? ut quid diligitis vanitatem, et quæritis mendacium?
2 Sons of men! Until when [is] my glory for shame? You love a vain thing, you seek a lie. (Selah)
Et scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 And know that YHWH Has separated a saintly one to Himself. YHWH hears in my calling to Him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quæ dicitis in cordibus vestris, in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 “Tremble, and do not sin”; Say [thus] in your heart on your bed, And be silent. (Selah)
Sacrificate sacrificium iustitiæ, et sperate in Domino. multi dicunt: Quis ostendit nobis bona?
5 Sacrifice sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in YHWH.
Signatum est super nos lumen vultus tui Domine: dedisti lætitiam in corde meo.
6 Many are saying, “Who shows us good?” Lift on us the light of Your face, O YHWH,
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 You have given joy in my heart, From the time their grain and their wine Have been multiplied.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 Together I lie down and sleep in peace, For You, O YHWH, alone, Cause me to dwell in confidence!
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
