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 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 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 justitiæ, 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.
