Psalms 4
1 [For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm by David.] Answer me when I call, God of my righteousness. You set me free in my distress. Be gracious to 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 You sons of man, how long will you shame my honor, love what is worthless, chase after a lie? (Selah)
Scitote quoniam mirificavit Dominus sanctum suum: Dominus exaudiet me cum clamavero ad eum.
3 But know that the LORD works wonders for his godly one; the LORD will hear when I call to him.
Irascimini, et nolite peccare: quae dicitis in cordibus vestris, et in cubilibus vestris compungimini.
4 Be angry, but do not sin. Ponder in your heart, but be at rest on your bed. (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 say, "Who will show us any good?" LORD, lift up the light of your face upon us.
A fructu frumenti, vini, et olei sui multiplicati sunt.
7 You have put gladness in my heart, more than when their grain and wine and oil abound.
In pace in idipsum dormiam, et requiescam;
8 In peace I will both lay myself down and sleep, for you alone, LORD, make me live in safety.
Quoniam tu Domine singulariter in spe constituisti me.
